New on CzechiaFood: Mattoni Magnesia Extra & Mill Spring from Karlovy Vary 💧

When people connect mineral water with Czechia, many think of Vincentka from Luhačovice, and right next to that Mattoni and Karlovy Vary. Spa towns, colonnades, springs – and the fact that mineral water here is something people choose by taste and by what they want from it.

Karlovy Vary is also famous for culture, especially the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. And if you’re bringing a bit of “Karlovy Vary” home, a movie night fits naturally. If you enjoy Czech films abroad, you can find them on czechmovie.com.

We’ve added two new waters to CzechiaFood:

Why people drink mineral water

People drink mineral water because they want a slightly “healthier” water – with minerals that may be beneficial, and it also tastes different from regular water. Some prefer a gentler mineral profile, others want a stronger, more distinctive taste. These two waters are different in that exact way.

Mattoni Magnesia Extra – the one people buy for magnesium

With Magnesia, it’s simple. People drink it mainly because it contains magnesium. When someone buys it, they usually know why – they want a mineral water with magnesium and don’t want to overcomplicate it.

What to expect:

a more mineral-forward taste than regular table water
it’s not neutral, you can taste it
a good pick if you want magnesium regularly as part of your hydration

Mattoni Mill Spring - Mlýnský pramen Karlovy Vary – for people who like spa-style mineral waters

Mill Spring is a different type. Here it’s less about magnesium and more about the fact that it’s a Karlovy Vary spring with the kind of taste people associate with Czech spa waters.

What to expect:

if you like more distinctive mineral waters and spa springs
if you want a “Karlovy Vary” classic at home abroad
as a non-sweet but very Czech addition to a parcel

A spa classic pairing: Kolonáda wafers

When people think of Czech spa towns, they often think of Kolonáda spa wafers too. Mineral water and spa wafers is a classic pairing many people remember from trips to spa towns.
