It is there, between the limestone outcrops that shape the region and its natural route to the extraction point &#8211; when it comes to the surface &#8211; that Blua gains its innate qualities that make it extremely suitable for consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The capture moment is done in two points &#8211; EAV 9 and EAV 11 &#8211; at depths between 170m and 250m, being extracted at temperatures around 25 degrees.<\/p>\n<h2>The Collection<\/h2>\n<p>If it is the nature that gives the natural mineral water Blua its desirable characteristics and extremely suitable for consumption, it is up to us, during the process of human intervention, not to impact on its quality. It is for this purpose that, throughout the collection and bottling process, we promote strict microbiological control, thus guaranteeing all quality standards.<\/p>\n<h2>Water and collection characteristics<\/h2>\n<p>Portuguese natural mineral water is internationally recognized for its superior quality. With Blua, we just don\u2019t take advantage of that gift. Every step of the process Blua undergoes adds value to the product itself, preserving the most important characteristics for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Blua water has a mineralization of around 1,100 mg \/ liter, due the fact of a unique contact with rocks of differentiated chemical characteristics, which enhances its quality and makes it particularly suitable for consumption<\/p>\n<h2>Composition<\/h2>\n<p>The composition of the natural mineral water Blua is one of its intrinsic surcharges, giving it the innate characteristics that are then preserved both in bottling processes and in our own logistic processes.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the composition of the Blua waters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bicarbonate\u00a0(HCO3-) 470 mg\/l \u00b1 50;<\/li>\n<li>Calcium\u00a0(Ca2+ ) 125 mg\/l \u00b1 20;<\/li>\n<li>Magnesium\u00a0(Mg2+ ) 31 mg\/l \u00b1 6;<\/li>\n<li>Potassium\u00a0(K+ ) 4.5 \u00b1 1;<\/li>\n<li>Sodium\u00a0(Na+) 136 mg\/l \u00b1 21;<\/li>\n<li>Chloride\u00a0(Cl- ) 198 mg\/l \u00b1 20;<\/li>\n<li>Fluoride\u00a0(F\u2013 ) 0.3 mg\/l \u00b1 0.1;<\/li>\n<li>Silica\u00a0(SiO2 ) 13.1 mg\/l \u00b1 1.2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>pH\u00a020 \u00baC 7.34 \u00b1 0.40<\/p>\n<p>Store in a cool dry place, away from sunlight, heat and strong odors.<\/p>\n<p>Shelf life: 24 months<\/p>\n<p>Bacterial purity periodically verified in laboratory<\/p>\n<p>Laboratory analysis from IST 10\/2015<\/p>\n<p>PRODUCT OF PORTUGAL<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the sources of the Cezaredas Plateau &#8211; in the center of Portugal &#8211; comes Blua, the new Portuguese brand of bottled water that answers to a growing demand for quality natural mineral waters.
