Our Brand Didier is labeled natural mineral sparkling water, which means it complies with several precise criteria that were designated by French health authorities such as: - its subterranean origins - its original purity - its output consistency, temperature and the amount of minerals it contains when it emerges from the ground - the presence of minerals and/or oligo-elements recognized as good for one s health. Mineralized, Didier s water can be drunk at any age and in any situation. Created by nature, this natural mineral water is well balanced in minerals. Besides its hydrating properties, it contributes to one s nutritional balance, through its minerals (calcium, magnesium, oligo-elements ), without any calories or sugar. Didier bottles and commercializes 3 different types of waters, all natural and extracted from the same spring: sparkling, flavored sparkling or still water.
Our Story Didier s natural water spring was discovered in 1835. Alphonse Didier turned it later into a thermal station where medical patients would check in for a few days to improve their health. Indeed, mineral water was said to be beneficial for one s health at this time. In 1917, Didier s spring water started to be distributed in pharmacies in France, inside bottles enclosed by corosol leaves, a plant that was used for its medicinal properties. Didier water was then prescribed to help ease liver and kidney diseases. In 1945, a factory was set up to bottle and commercialize the spring s water with the official label natural sparkling water. 40 years later, the company adapted its business model to extend the range and develop sales. Today, the company produces more than 11 million bottles a year and invests 1 million euros every year in its development. In the early 80 s, Didier was the first company to ever produce flavored sparkling water and now works on developing new flavors for the years to come.
