Icelandic Blue originates in a glacier and emerges in a natural spring in the nature reserve.

Icelandic Blue source is located in a naturally protected area in a nature reserve called "Heiðmörk" near Reykjavik. In order to prevent unauthorised entry the spring water sources are fenced off in a 1.5 million square meter security zone. Reykjavik Water Works, which has been operating in this area since the early twentieth century to secure supplies of cold water to Reykjavik City, is responsible for all quality measures and control of the area. These control measures have been based on HACCP procedures since 1997. And Reykjavik Water Works became one of the first water utilities in the world to receive ISO 9001 for food grade quality certification in 1995.

Icelandic Blue originates in Iceland's glaciers. Filtered through inert layers of lava rock where it collects in a large underground river and over decades picking up a minimum of soluble minerals. It then emerges in a government protected natural spring, in an ancient lava field, in the heart of an isolated nature reserve called "Heiðmörk".

Available chemical and hydro-geological evidence indicates that the groundwater / spring water present in Heiðmörk, originates from a deep, semiconfined aquifer with an extension far into the uninhabited mountains of Bláfjöll and even into the central inland ice fields, such as the one forming the glacier Langjökull. This correlation constitutes the ultimate sign of quality for a spring water bottler. Our spring water is produced by rain and snow converted into ice thousands of years ago when no human pollutions existed.

Higher Alkalinity in water is great for anti-ageing. When water with a high pH balance is consumed it assists the body in maintaining its proper pH balance by helping neutralise acidic conditions that are present in most diets of the world.

Some bottled drinking waters are unhealthy because of its high acidity and oxidising effects. The slightest change on the acid/alkaline scale can have disastrous results on the body. By drinking Icelandic Blue spring water with a pH level of 8.47 you can help your body maintain a healthy pH level by reducing acidity in your body and restoring its natural balance.
