VEEN. Mother of water.

VEEN. Mother of Water
“Veen” comes from the original and untouched nature of Finland in Lapland, more precisely from the area of the village of Tengelio, not far from the city of Rovaniemi, the home of Santa Claus.
A few friends founded the company in 2006, and since then it has experienced an almost unbelievable rise to become one of the most expensive and popular spring waters in the world. However, "Veen" is only available in selected restaurants, hotels, bars and nightclubs, for example in Dubai, Moscow, New Delhi, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Mumbai, Beijing, Paris, London, Frankfurt or Portschach on the Austrian Wörthersee.
The history:
Shaped by northernmost wilderness.
The Finns don't talk much. But when they do, they do things. A conversation between friends led to the birth of VEEN in December 2006, and the pursuit of perfection continues to this day.
It's not just about water, it's about life. VEEN looks for something special, develops it and finds its niches worldwide.
The name VEEN is derived from the Finnish epic Kalevala, from Veen Emonen, the mother of water and an ancestral deity of Finland. The goddess is worshipped by sailors and fishermen. The name celebrates more than Veen Emonen, it also indicates the pure environment in the heart of which the springs of VEEN are found and the water is extracted.
Veen was born out of desire and passion and is considered one of the purest waters on the planet.
Passion makes us smile and that is a quality that should not be underestimated.
The water:
Untouched and extremely poor in minerals.
Water lovers around the world know that the best tasting waters come from protected, free-flowing artesian springs. It's only natural that VEEN falls into this category. The spring lies hidden from the world in the remoteness of Finnish Lapland. The water is filtered through an ice age to the natural headwaters of Konisaajo in the Arctic wilderness of Lapland. The headwaters are located near a small village called Tengelio, between two hills. With only two people per km², the place is practically considered wilderness. The hills are mostly layers of sand and gravel formed after the Vistsalian glacier during the early formation of the Baltic Sea.
The virginity of VEEN's Spring Waters has been rated as superior. This means that the water is not contaminated with 0 mg per litre of nitrate. However, it is the unusual smoothness that sets VEEN's Lapland Spring Water apart from the rest and absolutely stands out. The smooth smoothness is a quality that remains surprising with every sip. It comes from VEEN's extremely low mineral content or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) which here is at 17.22 - truly exceptional on a global scale.
VEEN bottles its Velvet and Effervescent spring water, which are continuously cold at 3-4 °C, at the source in Lapland. The other source is in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
Pairing:
Made for pairing.
The extremely low mineral content in Velvet and Effervescent makes VEEN a favorite of wine connoisseurs, whisky experts and the most famous chefs and restaurateurs.
The smoothness of the water cleanses your palate neutrally without adding any minerals, allowing you to detect even the most subtle tastes and aromas.
Perfectly matches wine, a favorite of many renowned wineries and international sommeliers. Particularly suitable for red wine, so it can be consumed at room temperature.
