IDAWATER Joins the Fine Water Society
Idaho's Artesian Water Earns a Place Among the World's Finest
We're proud to share some exciting news: IDAWATER has been officially accepted as a member of the Fine Water Society, joining an elite global community of the world's most distinguished naturally bottled waters.
The Fine Water Society, hosted at finewaters.com, is the leading global authority on premium naturally bottled water. Its curated roster spans over 50 countries, recognizing waters that demonstrate genuine terroir, exceptional source purity, and a commitment to craft over commodity. Acceptance isn't automatic; it reflects a serious evaluation of what's in the bottle and the philosophy behind it.
What the Fine Water Society Recognized in IDAWATER
Our listing on finewaters.com highlights what makes IDAWATER genuinely distinct. The water earns a "Superior" virginality rating; the highest possible. Reflecting a nitrate level of just 0.69 mg/l, a testament to the extraordinary purity of our source deep within Southern Idaho's Owyhee and Jarbidge Mountain Range. This is one of the most remote and undisturbed regions in the entire lower 48 states, where our artesian aquifer sits beneath ancient formations of basalt and rhyolite, naturally filtering the water over centuries before it ever reaches a bottle.
The Fine Water Society also recognized our effervescent character, noting the refined, pinpoint bubbles that set IDAWATER apart from standard sparkling waters. With a TDS of just 103 mg/l and a pH of 7.40, placing us in the "hint of sweet" orientation range. IDAWATER offers a balance that feels clean, soft, and incredibly drinkable.
A Philosophy Rooted in Fine Sparkling Wine
What the Fine Water Society listing celebrates is not just what's in the bottle, but how we think about carbonation. Rather than standard inline CO₂ injection, we use the traditional Charmat tank method; the same trusted approach used by the world's finest sparkling winemakers. The result is a bead that feels elegant and considered, not aggressive. Its effervescence designed to be savored.
This philosophy mirrors the Fine Water Society's own ethos. As their founder Dr. Michael Mascha put it, fine water is a natural product with terroir that holds experiences and creates wellness. IDAWATER was built around exactly that idea.
Idaho on the World Stage
Being listed alongside waters from over 50 countries is a milestone we don't take lightly. It places the Owyhee and Jarbidge Mountain Range, and Idaho, on the global map of exceptional water sources.
Whether you're enjoying IDAWATER from a 750 ml bottle at a fine dining table or cracking open a slim 12 oz can out in the open air, you're drinking something the world's most discerning water community has now officially recognized as extraordinary.
