Bezoya
Bezoya is sourced from springs in the Sierra de Guadarrama Natural Park in Segovia province, Castilla y León, Spain, near Ortigosa del Monte and Trescasas. The brand is owned and bottled by Calidad Pascual (Grupo Leche Pascual), which acquired the water rights in 1974. Bezoya holds natural mineral water status and is marketed as the softest commercially available bottled water in Spain.

Mineral character
Bezoya is one of the softest waters in the TWD database. All six ions are at or near detection limits: calcium 4 mg/L, magnesium 1 mg/L, sodium 1 mg/L, sulphate 0 mg/L, chloride 0.5 mg/L, and bicarbonate 18 mg/L. Total hardness is 14 mg/L as CaCO₃; alkalinity is 15 mg/L as CaCO₃. TDS is approximately 27 mg/L. For blending purposes it functions as a diluent: it adds volume without adding minerals and has almost no buffering capacity.
Documented use and context
Bezoya is listed as suitable for preparing infant formula by the Asociación Española de Pediatría (Spanish Paediatrics Association), which specifies waters with very low mineral content and sodium below 20 mg/L for this purpose. Bezoya’s sodium of 1 mg/L is among the lowest of any commercially distributed water in Europe.
Use-case suitability
- CoffeeNot used in any current coffee recipe, but hardness 14 mg/L sits within the 9–266 mg/L range typical for these targets.
- TeaNot used in any current tea recipe. Hardness 14 mg/L is below the 37–59 mg/L range of these targets, useful as a diluent.
- BrewingNot used in any current brewing recipe. Hardness 14 mg/L is below the 26–922 mg/L range of these targets, useful as a diluent.
- BakingNot used in any current baking recipe. Hardness 14 mg/L is below the 46–390 mg/L range of these targets, useful as a diluent.
- AquariumNot used in any current aquarium recipe. Hardness 14 mg/L is below the 35–212 mg/L range of these targets, useful as a diluent.
- HorticultureNot used in any current horticulture recipe, but hardness 14 mg/L sits within the 12–54 mg/L range typical for these targets.
