everything you should know about mineral water

2021.04.29

The conditions of Hungary are impressive, our country abounds in natural wonders. There is a real treasure hidden not only on the surface, but also under it, which is nothing but natural mineral water. It is no coincidence that Hungarian mineral waters are world-famous and that Hungary is at the forefront of their consumption. However, the mineral composition of karst waters can vary greatly.

What is what we call mineral water? 

Mineral water comes from the groundwater, free of contaminants. The water is filtered to crystal clear by natural rocks. Meanwhile, water is enriched with many minerals that are beneficial to the human body.

Not all groundwater is mineral water. The pumped water must meet strict standards and be regularly monitored. In order for water to be described as mineral water, it is essential that the mineral content exceeds 500 mg / liter. In addition, the composition of the mineral must be constant.

What is the difference between mineral water and natural mineral water?
Nowadays, water enriched with minerals and other substances is often produced, but these do not qualify as natural mineral water.

Natural mineral water is the national treasure of our country. Crystal-clear water free from microbiological and chemical contamination without human intervention. It is rich in minerals, micro- and macro-elements that have a beneficial effect on the human body. You can read more about the properties of natural mineral water here.

Which is the best mineral water?

It would be difficult to say that a mineral water is the best. There are many factors that affect the quality and taste of mineral water. First and probably the most important such factor is mineral content. The healthiest mineral water is characterized by a high content of calcium and magnesium while low sodium levels. The latter is especially important if someone is struggling with digestive problems.

Most assume that the more the better. However, constant consumption of mineral water with a very high mineral content is not recommended as it promotes kidney stone formation. Mineral water often has a very high dissolved mineral content that gives it an unpleasant, water-like taste.

What kind of mineral water do I drink?

For everyday consumption, a natural mineral water with a balanced mineral content is the best choice. Montivíz, which is surfacing in the Balaton Uplands - in Monostorapáti, is rich in physiologically important minerals. Mineral water with a very low sodium content is coupled with high levels of calcium and magnesium. The high-quality water is free of heavy metals, which gives it a silky and delicate taste, making it an ideal choice for everyone to consume on a daily basis.

Mineral water home delivery, comfortably and without guilt


Nowadays, there are more and more attacks on mineral water consumption - quite rightly of course - for environmental reasons. The vast majority of mineral water on store shelves is available in PET bottles.

Unfortunately, a significant portion of these plastic bottles are not recycled. At best, it ends up at least in municipal waste, but unfortunately in many cases it ends up in nature. This is because it naturally takes at least 500 years for a PET bottle to decompose while significantly damaging nature. Is it possible to order mineral water without harmful plastic waste?

Yes of course! Order Monti mineral water with home delivery, free of charge. We get rid of not only carrying heavy compartments, but also PET bottles. Montivíz completely recycles emptied mineral water balloons.

The microplastics phenomenon is of serious concern from both an environmental and a health perspective. Microplastics are literally all around us: they are present in water - including drinking water - soil and air. Living organisms at the bottom of the food chain often mix the nutrients with particles that are often invisible to the naked eye and thus enter the food chain. Because of the newness of the problem, no research has yet been done on the long-term effects of microplastics, but it is already clear that they are harmful to our health and the environment.
