10th — 18th century
Glacial origins and sacred refuge
High in the Pyrenees, the snowmelt and rain of the High Ribagorza valley began a decades-long filter through granite and pristine mountain rock.
Long before commercial interest, the mountain communities of the range drew on these high-altitude springs for daily life, valuing the water for its clarity and softness.
By the 18th century, the isolation of the surrounding peaks kept the water entirely protected from human influence or agricultural impact.
