Sant Aniol is still a family business. Offices and production plant are located right next to the water spring, in a small village called Sant Aniol de Finestres, within the province of Girona, home of the famous artist Salvador Dalí. Filtered for thousands of years through volcanic rocks of Garrotxa's Natural Park. It provides a water free of contaminants, rich in minerals and with a high level of purity. The volcanic energy of the land allows the water to absorb more minerals than other waters do. From the Natural Park of the Volcanic Area of La Garrotxa, Sant Aniol water finds its singularity in its origin. Materialized not only in its composition and unique properties, but also in a differentiated character: the Volcanic Spirit. From the interior of a land that lava created thousands of years ago Sant Aniol water is born. The only water with volcanic origin from the Iberian Peninsula. Sant Aniol Mineral Water presents a balanced mineral composition. The combination of its elements helps to facilitate the purification of our body. Its diuretic action helps prevent urinary tract infections and reduce uric acid and cholesterol. On the other hand, the low sodium content makes it suitable for poor sodium diets, for treatments to control hypertension and for the preparation of children's foods.
The meaning of the word antipodes is at the very heart of our water – it is quite literally poles apart. To us it represents both a place of origin and an attitude to everything we stand for.
antipodes /an-tip-o-deez/ n.pl. 1. Australia and New Zealand form the perspective of Europe; 2. a pair of points, places or things that are diametrically opposite each other; antipodal a.: situated on the opposite of the globe; antipodean a.; of , relating to or from the Antipodes.
Our founder Simon Wooley, a restaurateur could not understand why fine restaurants in New Zealand were importing mineral water from Europe when in New Zealand we could source pristine mineral water that could compete with any fine water in the world. Fine water is a central element in the enjoyment of wine and cuisine - its sole purpose is to hydrate and refresh, whilst cleansing the palate. For this reason we sought out the source of Antipodes deliberately to offer a mineral water that is ideally suited to enhance the fine dining experience.
