We let nature create the harmony in our natural mineral water, as it has been gently and naturally filtered by nature during its 300-year journey to the Aqua d’Or source. Our source can be traced back to the last ice age over 10,000 years ago. Here, large glaciers carved through the Danish land, melting into perfectly pure drinking water. Our mission is to lead the beverage category with deep respect for our water and its origin, by offering a wide range of quality products, responsibly produced. Therefore, all our Aqua d’Or branded bottles are made from recycled plastic, with up to 100% reused content. We aim to be consumers’ preferred alternative to traditional sugary soft drinks, and our product portfolio includes a wide range of quality products that are low in calories. Aqua d’Or Mineral Water A/S was founded in 1987 and has been 100% owned by the Danone Group, one of the world’s leading food companies, since 2015. Aqua d’Or is one of the largest producers of natural mineral water in Denmark, employing between 75–90 employees at our factory in Fasterholt, depending on the season.
