Natural mineral water · Galicia, Spain
Cabreiroá is a natural mineral water from Galicia, born near Verín in Ourense. Its character comes from the granitic underground of this green northwestern landscape.
Drawn from around 150 metres below the surface, the water emerges at a constant 16°C, naturally pure and bacteriologically pristine.
It is bottled without purification treatment, preserving its constant chemical composition exactly as it is found in nature.
The spring, known since the nineteenth century and declared minero-medicinal in 1906, remains one of Galicia's emblematic waters.
Water profile
A naturally mineralized water from the Cabreiroá spring, shaped by the granitic underground of Ourense. Balanced mineralization and notable silica content give it a calm, composed identity at the table.

Provenance
19th century
The valley of Verín, in Ourense, has long been a place people travelled to for its waters — a cluster of springs rising through Galician granite in a green corner of Spain's northwest.
Cabreiroá was among the most sought after, drunk locally well before anyone thought to bottle it.
1906
In 1906 the spring was formally declared minero-medicinal, the Spanish designation reserved for waters with recognised therapeutic properties and a composition that does not vary.
That constancy is the point: what is drawn today matches what was drawn a century ago.
Underground
Rain and snowmelt filter for years through fractured Galician granite. Volcanic and granitic activity deep below the valley enriches the water as it travels, giving Cabreiroá its medium, balanced mineralization rather than the featherweight profile of a low-mineral spring.
The signature the rock leaves behind is silica — silicon dissolved from the granite itself, present here at a level few European waters reach. It is what gives the water its soft, almost rounded mouthfeel.
Magma
Cabreiroá's sparkling expression, Magma, is not carbonated in a factory. Its carbon dioxide is magmatic — gas generated deep underground by residual volcanic activity and trapped in the aquifer alongside the water.
Captured at source and returned to the same water it came from, it produces a fine, persistent, distinctly mineral bead.
Today
The water is drawn from around 150 metres below the surface and emerges at a constant 16°C, bacteriologically pristine.
It is bottled at source with no purification treatment whatsoever — the granite has already done the work, and the notable silica content is the signature it leaves behind.
