Eau du Mont-Dore
Eau du Mont-Dore is New Caledonia's local spring water from the Col de Plum spring near Nouméa, bottled since 1979 and sold still, sparkling and flavoured. Like the island's tap water it is rich in magnesium and very low in calcium. — as described by the brand

Label (mg/L): sodium 5.8, potassium 0.4, calcium 0.4, magnesium 15, chloride 10.4, nitrate <0.1, sulfate 2.6, phosphate <0.1, bicarbonate 74.4; dry residue at 180°C 94.5 mg/L. No pH printed. The very low calcium and high magnesium fit the local geology: the Mont-Dore tap-water analysis (Calédonienne des Eaux, 2016) also shows calcium 1.4 and magnesium 17 mg/L.
How it stands out
