Fromin water, sourced in the Česká Lípa area, is valued in many countries around the world for its exceptional taste and unmistakable bottle design.
FROMIN water comes from a melting glacier that covered the mountains of northern Bohemia 15 000 years ago. Untouched by civilisation, it is preserved in its pristine purity 300 m below the surface in an aquifer of quartz block sandstone, formed from sediments 90 million years ago as the bed of the original shallow Cretaceous sea.
Its iconic bottle shaped like ice cubes makes it stand out among competing premium waters.
It is sold in the most prestigious restaurants in many countries worldwide. It wins awards for taste and design at international competitions. It is a member of the Fine Water association, which brings together premium waters from around the world.
What have leading water sommeliers said about Fromin water?
Michael Mascha - USA
created the FineWaters academy in 2002 and was one of the original founders of the Fine Water Society in 2008. He helped establish the premium category and tells the story that “water is not just water”: it has terroir like wine, can be paired with food and cared for by water sommeliers.
“Fromin tells the story of a special water from the last ice age, protected by impermeable rock at a depth of 300 m for the last 15 000 years. The water has a low mineral content and a delicate, neutral taste, and comes in a stunning glass bottle shaped like an ‘ice cube’ for a premium experience with this extraordinary water.”

“Fromin water: A taste of the ice age”
“Fromin water is a masterpiece of nature, capturing the purity and untouched character of a world long ago. Its story begins 15 000 years ago during the ice age, preserved in pristine aquifers. Each sip greets you with subtle minerality and a clear, gentle whisper of quartz sand, naturally filtered through 90-million-year-old sandstone aquifers. This process brings a fresh, clean taste with a perfectly balanced mineral profile, leaving a refreshing sensation reminiscent of the cool breath of glacial air.”
Antonio Castaldo – Italy
A pioneer of premium waters in Italy. The first Italian certified water sommelier. He works as a consultant on luxury-water projects and supplies premium waters to Italian restaurants and hotels.
“Fromin water is recommended by leading Italian chefs to accompany particularly important dishes and courses. Luxury Fromin water should be in every Ferrari.”
Mark Brons – Netherlands
The first Dutch certified water sommelier, who advises the hospitality industry on pairing the right water with food. He serves as a judge at international competitions. FROMIN water is part of his portfolio.
“The water has a pleasant, balanced taste best described as neutral. Fromin is therefore popular for pairing with wine and food. I would describe it as water as it was once intended, with a beautifully balanced taste. It does not interfere with the taste of food or wine.”
Leonardo Deoti
Leonardo Deoti is a renowned water sommelier from Brazil, known for his expertise in selecting and pairing mineral waters. Passionate about the art of water culture, he leads numerous training courses and workshops to raise awareness of the diversity of mineral waters. As a chef, Deoti seeks to reveal the unique properties of each water and show how these flavours can harmoniously complement dishes.
“Fromin ice-age water is a highly distinctive product of Mother Nature. With a vintage of 15 000 years, its history is an epicurean luxury that undoubtedly adds value to the water-tasting experience. The water is well balanced, very light and offers a delicate mouthfeel with
a crisp taste, leaving a refreshing sensation on the palate. Its rich calcium content makes it very versatile for food pairing and an ideal choice for replenishing nutrients in your body.”
“The gold water version is a luxury for the eyes and offers an intriguing excitement when tasting this water. I must add that the bottle design is unique and very stylish, referring to ice cubes that take us back to ancient times. Wonderful!”
