AQUA Pacific Natural Artesian Water has been given the Top Superior Taste Award by the International Taste Institute in Brussels.
This year’s recognition was especially significant for the Nadi-based company as it coincided with the 25th anniversary of its parent company Frezco Beverages.
Frezco Beverages chief executive officer and founder Altaaf Jamal said the award was a testament to the company’s commitment to quality and hard work by their staff.
“This recognition reaffirms Aqua Pacific’s consistent excellence on the global stage, with a proud record only briefly interrupted during the global pandemic,” Mr Jamal said in a statement.
“We call it our COVID blip but beyond that, we have never missed a beat.
“Each award is a reminder of the care we take at the source and the pride we pour into every bottle.”
According to the company, the Superior Taste Award is considered one of the highest honours in food and beverage.
Mr Jamal said receiving the top rating once again strengthened Aqua Pacific’s position among the world’s finest natural waters.
“This is not just about one award.
“It is a celebration of 25 years of dedication, of every team member who made it possible, and of our ongoing promise to deliver a product people can trust and enjoy.”
