Hey Y'all,
This week, I’m setting my table with three waters that couldn’t be more different in origin, texture, and taste, but together, they make for a perfect hydration trio: Voss Still Water from Norway, Proud Source Spring Water from the U.S., and Vilajuïga Naturally Carbonated Water from Catalonia, Spain. Each brings its own character, mineral story, and mood to the table and trust me, I’m savoring every sip.
Voss Still Water: The Cool, Calm Norwegian Classic
Sometimes you need a water that’s as smooth and serene as a Nordic fjord — enter Voss Still. Sourced from an artesian aquifer in Southern Norway, this water is naturally low in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), which means it has a light, almost silky mouthfeel. This week, I’m craving that clean, crisp simplicity that lets my palate rest while still delivering hydration perfection.
Mineral benefits:
-
Low sodium – ideal for days when I want to keep my mineral intake gentle and pure.
-
Neutral pH – easy on digestion and a great baseline water for tasting alongside food.
Why this week? Because between tasting events and summer heat, my body needs a reset water — one that hydrates without demanding attention. Voss is my “quiet luxury” in a glass bottle.
Proud Source Spring Water: The Elevated Everyday
Straight from springs in Idaho and Florida, Proud Source brings more than just water — it brings a mission of sustainability and environmental stewardship. This American spring water carries a moderate TDS, giving it a crisp yet slightly rounded flavor profile. I’m keeping it on the table this week because it’s my reminder that hydration can also be about supporting responsible sourcing.
Mineral benefits:
-
Calcium & magnesium – support healthy bones and muscle function.
-
Bicarbonates – help maintain a balanced pH in the body, aiding digestion.
Why this week? I’m spending a lot of time outdoors, so I want something mineral-rich enough to keep my body replenished but not so heavy that it overpowers my meals. Proud Source hits that sweet spot flavorful, balanced, and good for the planet.
Vilajuïga Naturally Carbonated Water : Catalonia’s Sparkling Jewel
Ah, Vilajuïga — one of Spain’s most legendary waters, naturally carbonated right at the source. This isn’t just sparkling water; it’s effervescent character in a bottle. The lively bubbles are matched by a distinct mineral depth, giving it a complex, almost savory taste. I chose it this week because I want something celebratory, something that feels like it should be served in a champagne flute at sunset.
Mineral benefits:
-
High bicarbonate content – great for digestion after a rich meal.
-
Sodium – helps maintain hydration balance in warmer weather.
-
Mineral complexity – supports electrolyte balance and enhances flavor pairing.
Why this week? I’ve been leaning into Mediterranean flavors in my meals, and Vilajuïga’s bold personality is a perfect match for tapas nights and grilled seafood. Plus, those tiny, natural bubbles? Absolute bliss.
The Waterlady’s Takeaway
Hydration doesn’t have to be boring. This week, my table is a celebration of contrasts: the gentle purity of Norway’s Voss, the balanced richness of Proud Source from the U.S., and the vibrant sparkle of Catalonia’s Vilajuïga. Together, they remind me that water is as much about taste and texture as it is about minerals and that each bottle tells its own story.
