| Source: Eldorado Artesian Springs
LOUISVILLE, CO--(Marketwire - February 27, 2008) - Eldorado Artesian Springs, Inc. (OTCBB : ELDO ) today announced that its artesian spring water won the Silver Medal
at the 18th Annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting
competition. The competition, which included more than 120 waters from 19
American states and nine foreign countries, is the largest and
longest-running water tasting event in the world.
Eldorado Artesian Springs won the silver medal in the bottled water
category after winning the third place bronze medal in the same competition
in 1996 and consistently making it to the finals over the years. The
two-day "blind" tasting competition is conducted under guidelines similar
to those used in wine tasting competitions. Ten impartial judges consider
clarity, taste, mouth feel, and lack of aroma and aftertaste. The
competition attracted water companies from as far away as New Zealand and
the Philippines to Romania and Macedonia.
"Eldorado Artesian Springs, Inc. has been packaging superior quality
bottled spring water for nearly 25 years and we are pleased to be
recognized in this competition that attracts the leading water producers
from around the world," said Doug Larson, chief executive officer.
"Bottled natural spring water has been the cornerstone of our business
since inception, and the key to our success is the purity and excellent
taste of the water we draw from our own artesian spring in the foothills of
the Rocky Mountains."
