The best local producers Ribeauvillé

In 1785, Abbot Grandidier mentioned in one of his alsars that a mysterious source appeared and disappeared for several centuries in the region. A century later, in 1888, this phenomenon will stir up the curiosity of Dr. Staub, who will eventually find his provenance. He then decided to create a thermal establishment that he chose to call Les Bains Carola, in tribute to his wife Caroline. In 1890, the first bottles of this medicinal water were found in drugstores and pharmacies. But it was not until 1919 that Ribeauvillé's Mineral Waters Company was created to commercialize the famous Carola Rouge (carbonated water), which will be joined by the Carola Bleu (its flat version) in 1955. In 1989, Carola Rouge became the first gas water to be packaged in plastic bottles. 4 years later, an innovation complements the range; This is Carola Green, finely sparkling, followed by the launch of the flavored waters in 1999. In 2013, Carola celebrated 125 years of undisputed and undisputed success: its mineral waters occupy a prominent place on the Alsatian tables. Today Carola is committed to sustainable development and for its region, but is also committed to preserving the quality of its water. The history that binds the Alsacians to Carola is far from over!
