Our history

Lauretana glacier water springs clear and uncontaminated from the alpine rocks in the untouched environment of Mount Rosa in Piedmont, Italy.
Lauretana’s home was originally the location of the Graglia Spa, founded in 1883. The spa was popular with the European elite and hosted many distinguished guests including some celebrated names from Italian history: Queen Margherita Di Savoia, the politician Giovanni Giolitti, writers Giosue Carducci and Edmondo De Amicis and actress Eleonora Duse.
The spa’s waters were prized for their lightness and rejuvenating properties, creating a perfect basis for relaxation and renewal. The Graglia Spa remained opened until the beginning of World War II.
In 1964 the current owners bought the estate where the spring is located amongst the alpine rocks at 1,050m above sea level in one of the greenest valleys of Piedmont. Since then Lauretana has been producing Lauretana water, named for the Madonna of Loreto who has a shrine in the original Graglia Spa.
The factory is built at 850m above sea level, and equipped with a state of the art bottling plant so we can bring the rejuvenating glacial waters of the Graglia Spa directly to your table without processing or filtering.

*Lauretana has an exceptionally low fixed residue (measurement in mg/l of dissolved solids) of just 14mg per litre and an extraordinarily low level of sodium – only 1.1mg per litre, qualifying under FDA rules as salt free.
