Sal­pausselkä Vesi

SAY YES TO MOTHER'S NATURE MASTERPIECE - SALPAUSSELKÄ GROUNDWATER

 

 

Lahti region boasts excep­tionally high-quality groundwater, formed through ancient glacial processes. Its unique soil composition — featuring gravel ridges and moraine formations — naturally filters the water, ensuring it remains clean and requires minimal treatment. Renowned for its pristine groundwater, the region has invested in long-term protection efforts to preserve this valuable resource. The availability of safe, high-quality water offers a significant competitive advantage for businesses operating in the area.

 

EU PGI name protection sought for Salpausselkä Groundwater

In the Lahti region, around 100,000 cubic metres of new groundwater is formed every day. Achieving PGI protection would increase marketing value and help attract food industry companies to the area. The application was submitted to the Finnish Food Authority at the end of last year.
