Souroti is a brand of carbonated mineral water that originates from Greece. It is known for its natural effervescence and is bottled at the source in the region of Macedonia.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of Souroti dates back to 1916 when the natural springs were first discovered. The water is sourced from the area near the village of Souroti, which is located in the Thessaloniki regional unit. The company, Souroti S.A., was established to bottle and distribute this naturally carbonated water.
Composition[edit | edit source]
Souroti water is rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals contribute to its unique taste and potential health benefits. The water is naturally carbonated, which means that the bubbles are a result of natural processes rather than artificial carbonation.
