LANJARON

It’s finally happening! Lanjaròn natural mineral water, which is rapidly becoming a favorite among local VIP’s, is fully available across the UAE. Lanjarón has a unique arabic story, dating back to 700 years. We believe Lanjarón roots from the arabic word Al Anhar (ألانهار) denoting the many rivers and springs of this beautiful mountainous region in Granada, Spain.

What are the latest trends in water beverages?

Consumers will stop checking sodium on water bottle labels because 1500mg sodium is the daily recommended intake from food. On average, there is less than 20mg sodium from 3L of water. Instead, consumers are increasingly looking for “natural mineral water” on the bottle labels. This trend is growing as parents look for the best waters for their children.

Do you dislike the local demineralized water? Do you ever worry about plastic mixing with your water?

Lanjarón Arabia provides a Grade AAA highest quality supply chain. Lanjarón, from Source Salud, is always clean pure natural mineral water from an environmentally protected reserve of Sierra Nevada. From the time Lanjarón leaves Spain until the time we deliver to our final customer, we guarantee always cool temperature for your natural mineral water. Our ship containers are guaranteed 19C, as well as cool 19C storage and cool 19C chilled van delivery. You will be able to taste the freshness!

Look for us at most of UAE’s organic supermarkets and spreading into mainstream supermarkets now. We are also offer free home delivery online and whatsapp 050-9210655.
