Ferrarelle – Sparking Natural Mineral Water

If I had to pick one water right now to be my regular, why not this one. It tastes delicious—it’s an Italian mineral water, and it’s subtle and fresh, and the natural carbonation is nice. My weakness is that I want to keep trying new things. And also, I’m attracted to the extremes—even though a more pronounced mineral flavor—that turns you on—might turn on you, eventually. There’s a distributor website that describes the origins of the water, near Naples, and the specifics of the mineral origins, and a murky photograph that could be anywhere. There’s also a funny paragraph about the convoluted, contested, origins of the name, and an oddly specific list of food that the water best accompanies—who comes up with this stuff!? The bottle is 750ml green glass with an old-fashioned looking red label with silver and white print. Also, a red, screw-on cap. The bottle is as attractive as any I’ve seen—and the water matches in deliciousness. I think I’ve found my regular water, I really have. I’d say I can end this experiment right now, except I know that there are still a lot out there to try. I may not remain faithful, but at some point I may see if the Ferrarelle will have me back.
