WHAT IS WATER?

Water came into being when oxygen, coming from the stars, attracted hydrogen, the primary substance in the universe.

A lot of water, carried by comets, reached the earth.

Over the millenniums, the earth got cold and vapour fell down as rain.

Rain formed rivers, lakes and oceans.

The chemical structure of this substance is formed by a molecule of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen (H₂O).

THE CYCLE OF WATER

Water is warmed by the sun and is transformed into vapour which goes upward. It goes up until it meets a layer of cold air and so vapour turns into white or grey clouds. Then, because of its weight, water falls down from the clouds. It will come down as rain, if the temperature isn’t very cold, and as hail or snow, if it is very cold.

FERRARELLE MINERAL WATER

The history of Ferrarelle mineral water is millenary. Its springs are in Riardo green countryside, an area of volcanic origin in the province of Caserta, Campania. The presence of hot springs has been certified since the Roman period, according to the declarations of the Latin authors Aulus Gallus, Vitruvius and Pliny the Elder.

At the end of the 18^th century, Ferrarelle mineral water was considered one of the first and most important cold acidulous waters, with curative and tonic properties.

There are various conjectures about the origin of the name Ferrarelle.

According to the first one, it comes from the name of a little church dedicated to Maria of Ferrara.

According to a second one, it comes from the habit of calling it ferrata water.

According to a third conjecture, the name Ferrarelle comes from the area where there are its cold springs, called Freddarelle.

Nowadays Ferrarelle water is considered mineral, carbonic and bicarbonate calcic.

This water contains a big quantity of bicarbonate, which aids the digestive process, a good quantity of calcium, which can be easily assimilated and is fundamental for children, women and those who practise sports, and a lot of mineral salts, like potassium, magnesium, fluorine and silica.

TELESE THERMAL WATER

Telese thermal water is cold (20°C ), sulphurous water. It is very rich in sulphur and other minerals, like carbonate, calcium bicarbonate, magnesium, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide. Sulphur is the fundamental element of this water and it’s like the one contained in all the cells of human body. It interacts with the sulphur which is in our body and makes this water an effective treatment for a lot of pathologies and also good to prevent some of them.
