Amid the stunning basalt landscapes of southern Golan Heights, where ancient volcanoes meet endless blue skies, an extraordinary story begins. Beneath the picturesque scenery of black basalt expanses, green forests, and breathtaking seasonal blooms lies a rare natural treasure—a reservoir of pure mineral water 300 meters deep. Here, deep beneath the volcanic earth, the water embarks on a fascinating natural journey through ancient rock layers formed millions of years ago. On its way to the depths, the water undergoes natural filtration through porous basalt layers, enriching it with essential minerals and transforming it into pure mineral water. This is an age-old process crafted by nature itself, with every drop absorbing the mineral wealth of the ancient basalt rocks of the Golan Heights.
On a special visit to the Mey Eden plant, located in the heart of this wild landscape, we set out to uncover the continuation of the water’s extraordinary journey—from the moment it is drawn from the depths to its arrival in the bottle on your table. This is a story that combines nature’s wonders with cutting-edge technology, with a single goal: to preserve the purity and mineral richness of the water exactly as nature created it.
“Our water comes directly from the underground source,” explains Nitzan Tubi, the plant manager. “Unlike tap water, this is natural mineral water that has undergone a natural filtration process through basalt layers. It reaches the plant through a closed pipeline system, undergoes advanced filtration processes, and is maintained under controlled conditions throughout the entire process.”
In the company’s laboratories, rigorous tests are conducted regularly. “The water is tested every hour against the Ministry of Health’s standards,” emphasizes Shadi Guttani, the plant’s quality and safety manager. “We examine the mineral composition and ensure that all values are consistently preserved.”
The advanced facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that enables the production of approximately 32,000 bottles per hour, in a fully automated process. “The uniqueness of our water lies in the fact that it comes from great depths, is rich in natural minerals, and the entire process is carried out without human contact,” Tubi explains.
Even during these challenging times of emergency, the plant continues to operate at full capacity to supply high-quality mineral water. Noah Noah, vice president of supply chain, describes the sophisticated distribution system: “Our network operates around the clock to ensure that every household in Israel receives its natural mineral water.”
During the plant tour, it is evident how advanced technology and the automated process ensure that the mineral water, sourced from the depths of the earth, reaches the bottle in its most natural and pure form. “This is our commitment—to deliver the highest quality mineral water directly from nature to consumers,” Tubi concludes.
