Font Vella
Font Vella is sourced from a spring in Sant Hilari Sacalm, in the Les Guilleries area of Girona province, Catalonia. The brand also draws from a second source at Sigüenza in Guadalajara province (Castilla-La Mancha). Font Vella was founded in 1943, with commercial distribution beginning in 1898 from the Sant Hilari source. The brand has been owned by Danone since 1974 (initially as BSN-Gervais Danone). Font Vella holds natural mineral water status in Spain.
