Vichy Catalan is a legendary mineral water brand in both Spain and Europe. The brand has cemented its prestige on the product’s exceptional quality, genuine flavor, and undisputed mineral and medicinal properties. The story of Vichy Catalan, which is now one of the most respected market leaders in the “premium” water category, dates back to 1881.
At the start of that year, the company was launched by Dr. Modest Furest, an entrepreneur and leading personality of the time in medical science. He had previously purchased several properties in the town of Caldes de Malavella, in the province of Girona (north of Barcelona).
Vichy Catalan’s founder immediately began the modern, industrial and scientific exploitation of these waters. In a relatively short time, he managed to have the waters declared as being in the public interest and register the brand. He subsequently opened the first bottling plant and, a few years after beverage HISTORY OF A LEGENDARY BRAND that, began work on what would become the Vichy Catalan Spa Hotel.
Quality and Research Vichy Catalan is keenly committed to innovation, research and the dissemination of water culture in all its facets, and it is this commitment that has gained it the unanimous recognition of consumers and top gastronomy and health professionals.
The health properties of Vichy Catalan were proven in its early years when Dr. Furest found the water to be beneficial for the digestive system. His experience-based observations have now been confirmed by modern analytical techniques.

Much of this research has been published in the world’s most prestigious medical and nutritional journals, such as The Journal of Nutrition, The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, British Journal of Nutrition, Journal of Nutrition of American Society for Nutritional Sciences and Revista de Nutrición Práctica.
