About Eska

Eska is natural spring water from Saint-Mathieu-d'Harricana, in Abitibi. It is drawn from an esker, a long ridge of sand and gravel left behind by glaciers, where water filters slowly underground like a hidden river. That natural filtration is what gives the water its clean, light taste.

Eska is an easy everyday choice for the lunch box, the gym bag or a road trip. Keep a few bottles in the car during long summer drives, or serve it chilled at a family gathering. Choosing it is a simple way to buy a Quebec product in the drinks aisle. The water comes from the forests of northwestern Quebec.
