ANTIPODES Natural Artesian Still Water — 500 mL Pack of 4, Glass Bottled & Carbon Zero

Antipodes Natural Artesian Still Water is premium, naturally filtered still water from a protected New Zealand aquifer, bottled in glass for a clean, neutral taste.

Harvested from a deep artesian aquifer beneath the Bay of Plenty, Antipodes water is naturally purified by volcanic rock over centuries. Bottled at the source in elegant glass, this 500 mL pack of four delivers a soft, silky mouthfeel and a subtle mineral balance that complements fine food and wine. Certified carbon zero, the brand emphasizes environmental care alongside a refined drinking experience.

How is Antipodes water sourced and why does that matter?

Antipodes draws from an underground, highly protected artesian aquifer in New Zealand, where water is filtered slowly through dense volcanic rock. This long natural filtration process reduces impurities and builds a gentle mineral profile without added treatments. Bottling at source helps preserve the water’s original character and minimizes contamination risks.

• Deep artesian aquifer in Bay of Plenty, New Zealand
• Natural filtration through volcanic rock for up to 300 years
• Bottled at source in premium glass to maintain purity
• Minimal processing—no additives or artificial flavoring

What does Antipodes taste like and how does it pair with food?

Antipodes is known for a soft, silky mouthfeel and a subtle minerality that refreshes the palate without overpowering flavors. Its near-neutral pH and moderate total dissolved solids (TDS ~130 mg/L at source) make it an ideal neutral companion for tasting menus and fine wines. Chefs and sommeliers often choose it to cleanse the palate between courses.

• Silky texture and gentle minerality enhance tasting experiences
• Neutral pH (around 7.0) keeps flavor profiles balanced
• TDS ~130 mg/L provides mild mineral presence without saltiness
• Recommended alongside delicate dishes and wine flights

Is the packaging and company approach environmentally responsible?

The brand has been Carbon Zero Certified for nearly two decades, reflecting efforts to offset and minimize environmental impact from source to table. Glass is fully recyclable, supporting circular packaging practices.

How should I serve and store these 500 mL glass bottles?

Serve chilled or at cool room temperature depending on the dish or preference; chilling highlights the water’s crispness while room temperature preserves subtle minerality. Store bottles upright in a cool, shaded place away from strong odors and sunlight to keep the flavor unaltered. The 500 mL size is convenient for individual servings, tasting menus, or wine pairings.

• Chill for a crisp, refreshing sip; room temperature for tasting menus
• Store upright in a cool, dark area to protect taste
• 500 mL single-serve format suits restaurants and home entertaining
• Glass keeps water pure and avoids plastic flavor transfer
