Napa-Valley based Crystal Geyser Water Company’s signature Sparkling Mineral Water was recently named by San Francisco Chronicle’s “Taster’s Choice” (November 11, 2012) panel the top sparkling water in a taste test of 14 domestic and imported sparkling water brands. Points were given for taste and texture, and Crystal Geyser Sparkling Mineral Water earned an overall score of 83 out of a possible 100 points. The judging panel included culinary directors, chefs, food writers, consultants and cookbook authors from the greater San Francisco region.
“Our Napa Valley heritage and focus on great tasting, all natural products has made our sparkling waters a consumer favorite for more than 35 years,” said Doug MacLean, CEO Crystal Geyser Water Company. “We’re honored that the Chronicle’s taste experts have chosen our sparkling water as their favored brand.”
The newspaper also noted that because of the exceptionally high score earned by Crystal Geyser Sparkling Mineral Water, it landed in its Taster’s Choice Hall of Fame, reserved for products that score 80 or more out of a possible 100 points. Tasters noted that the water was “pleasantly fizzy” and had “clean taste” that was “bright on the palate,” and had “large bubbles that last,” adding “some depth” to the flavor and texture.* Crystal Geyser Sparkling Mineral Water is available in five flavors – Original, Lemon, Lime, Orange and Very Berry – and comes in three sizes 18 ounce, 1.25 liter and 2 liter PET bottles.
