The ESKA Story

Imagine the purest, best tasting water

Imagine water so pure you can drink it straight from the source. Water so naturally clean it doesn’t need to be chlorinated, ozonated or modified in any way.

Now imagine water that tastes just as nature intended. Crisp as forest air. And as cold as a mountain stream.

We found this water, in a glacially formed aquifer hidden in virgin forest in a remote corner of Quebec. ESKA WATER. We believe you’ll find it the best water you’ve ever tasted.

How ESKA came to be

The ESKA story began about 8,000 years ago, when receding glaciers carved subterranean rivers in parts of North America and Europe. Some of these rare underground formations, called eskers, still survive today, protected by a bed of clay beneath and layers of glacial rocks, gravel and sand above – a natural water purification system.

Revered by early settlers as probably one of the purest waters

It was in one of these eskers, the St-Mathieu-Lac Berry Esker located in the remote Abitibi-Temiscaming region of Western Quebec, where we discovered one of the purest waters on earth. Water that’s been filtered for up to 8,000 years. Water revered by the native Algonquins who are believed to have arrived here nearly 4,000 years ago.

What local people say about the esker water

Today, people who live near the source say the esker water makes their hair and skin noticeably lustrous and gives the fish from these parts an extraordinarily delicate flavour. In fact, the esker water is so pure that residents in the neighbouring town of Amos use it straight from the source for their everyday water needs. Another intriguing fact: Amos, which does not have a water treatment plant, has won awards for having the world’s best municipal water.
