Common questions
- What does Vittel taste like?
- Vittel is a still water, full-bodied, clean and crisp, closing on a dry, mineral finish. It belongs to the Personal Trainer type in our sixteen-part typology, and the house tasting notes run firm, dry-edged and chalky.
- Is Vittel good for you?
- Vittel is a regulated bottled water and safe to drink. The published analysis shows a rich and mineral water at 1084 mg/L dissolved solids, with 240 mg/L of calcium. Sodium sits at 5.2 mg/L, under the 20 mg/L line, so it suits a low-sodium diet.
- What minerals are in Vittel?
- Vittel carries calcium 240, magnesium 42 and sodium 5.2 mg/L over bicarbonate 384, sulfate 400 and chloride 5 mg/L. Calcium leads the mineral profile with sulfate the main anion, at 1084 mg/L total dissolved solids.
- How much sodium is in Vittel?
- Vittel carries 5.2 mg/L of sodium. That is under the 20 mg/L line, low enough to suit a low-sodium diet.
- Is Vittel hard or soft water?
- By its calcium and magnesium, Vittel works out to 768 mg/L as calcium carbonate, which counts as very hard water. That is genuinely hard water, chalky on the tongue and quick to scale a kettle.
- Can you use Vittel for baby formula?
- Probably not the first choice. Vittel falls outside the German infant-formula guidance because sulfate at 400 is over the 240 mg/L line. Pick a still water that clears all three limits, boil and cool it before mixing, and ask your pediatrician.
- Is Vittel still or sparkling?

- Where does Vittel come from?
- Vittel comes from Vosges in France, a single source.
