Everyone, Grab Some Water!

The benefits of staying hydrated are no longer a mystery. We’ve read and seen it and are convinced that drinking enough water daily helps our vital organs function properly.

Essential to all forms of life, it’s everywhere around us. Though invisible, it’s the key ingredient in every type of food and makes up 60% of the human body. Yes, we’re talking about water!

Water is undeniably the most precious resource we have. While it’s true that here in Quebec we are fortunate to enjoy its abundance, is the water we drink truly up to par? A question that leaves us thirsty for answers.

Everyone, grab some water!

More than ever, we recognize water’s direct impact on our overall health and its importance in our daily routines. The benefits of staying hydrated are no longer a mystery. We’ve read and seen it and are convinced that drinking enough water daily helps our vital organs function properly. Simply put, it aids digestion, reduces fatigue, sharpens focus, and spares us from unpleasant symptoms. If water has extraordinary properties, is the water that reaches our glasses of extraordinary quality?

 

Let’s dive right in

Most drinking water in Quebec comes from surface sources, such as rivers and lakes, and treatment is required to make it safe for consumption. Yet even after treatment, traces of substances heavily used in our society—like medications, hormones, plastics, and pesticides—can still be found. And let’s not forget lead from household plumbing, a harmful heavy metal, especially dangerous for children. Not exactly the healthy drink we had in mind, right? While more households are turning to filtration systems or ever-popular bottled water (hello, steep costs and everlasting pollutants!), neither option offers the same benefits as natural spring water.

Let’s flow back to the source

Water from a natural underground spring undergoes a completely organic filtration process, free from artificial treatments. Much like a traveller shedding worries and collecting memories along their journey, water sheds impurities while gathering minerals as it flows through rock layers—a 100% natural process called “percolation.” Calcium, magnesium, and other essential minerals are naturally present in the water rather than being artificially added. These minerals contribute to our daily intake and overall well-being and play a key role in defining the character of this precious liquid. Next time you enjoy a meal, whether at home or in a restaurant, think of water as the perfect complement. It not only adds freshness and enhances the flavours of your dishes but also balances the pace of the meal, enriching your dining experience.

Because we have taste

The Groupe Zibo! is proud to offer Altitude natural spring water, the first luxury water in Quebec available in a can. It is 100% Quebec-made and comes from an altitude spring—the only one of its kind in Quebec—providing it with superior natural protection compared to underground sources that can be exposed to various contaminants. Altitude spring water is also uniquely filtered naturally through rock over 63 days, an exceptionally long percolation process that gives it an unmatched smoothness and purity. Harvested directly at the source, Altitude water is packaged in a fully recyclable aluminum can, free of harmful plastic microparticles that can affect health and the environment. Its balanced, refined taste makes this still water a perfect companion to your dishes, offering freshness and lightness. Its sparkling version pairs wonderfully with richer dishes, such as red meats, saucy entrees, or cheeses. Water deserves its place in a culinary experience that lives up to your expectations!
