Lowest Sodium Mineral Waters in Spain

Among the mineral waters available in Spain in the h2oMatch database, these have the lowest sodium values.

Spain is one of Europe's largest mineral water markets, offering a wide variety of natural sources. This includes many options with very low sodium levels, suitable for those preferring a lighter-tasting water or monitoring their intake.

Lowest Sodium Mineral Waters in Spain (selection)

Here are some of the lowest sodium mineral waters in Spain included in the h2oMatch database.

WaterSodium (mg/L)
VERI 50.5
FUENTE LIVIANA0.8
BEZOYA1.2
aquaBona FUENMAYOR1.4
CORCONTE1.4
VERI 41.5
MONTE PINOS1.8
Agua de Cuevas2
aquaBona SANTOLÍN2
VERI 12.5

The three leading waters have very similar sodium but very different overall mineralization: BEZOYA has a fixed residue of only 27 mg/L, compared with 123 mg/L for VERI 5 and 251 mg/L for FUENTE LIVIANA.

Sodium in Spanish mineral waters

The low sodium content of many Spanish waters is due to their geology. Sources in the granitic zones of mountain ranges like the Pyrenees and the Sierra de Guadarrama filter water slowly through mineral-poor rock. This keeps their sodium content very low.

Spain's water landscape is diverse. While mountain springs offer some of Europe's lowest-sodium options, the country also has highly mineralized thermal waters like Vichy Catalan, which are very high in sodium. Even within a single brand, sodium can vary by source: VERI 5 has 0.5 mg/L, while the brand's VERI 4 and VERI 1 springs have 1.5 mg/L and 2.5 mg/L, respectively.

FAQ

Why does Spain have such low-sodium waters?

The main factor is geology. Water sourced from granitic mountain ranges, such as the Pyrenees and Sierra de Guadarrama, is filtered through mineral-poor rock, which results in low sodium levels.

Which is the lowest sodium mineral water in Spain?

VERI 5, with 0.5 mg/L sodium, leads the Spanish ranking, followed by FUENTE LIVIANA (0.8 mg/L) and BEZOYA (1.2 mg/L).

Which water should I choose to limit sodium intake?

To limit sodium intake, you can look for waters with the indication ‘suitable for a low-sodium diet’, which applies to waters with less than 20 mg/L of sodium. If sodium restriction is part of a medical treatment plan, always follow the advice of your healthcare professional.

Is Spanish mineral water generally low in sodium?

Not necessarily. Spain offers a wide range, from mountain spring waters with very low sodium to thermal waters that can be very high in sodium. The source geology determines the sodium content.

What sodium level should I look for in mineral water?

Under EU natural mineral water rules, water containing less than 20 mg/L sodium may carry the indication ‘suitable for a low-sodium diet’. There is no separate EU ‘very low sodium’ category for natural mineral water. The waters in this list all fall well below 20 mg/L.
