Carrick Glen Still Natural Mineral Water

Carrick Glen is a private label brand of bottled water sold exclusively through Lidl stores in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The product shown is a still natural mineral water, which is officially recognised as a natural mineral water by the UK government.

The water is sourced and bottled at the Carrick Glen source, specifically from Wells 2 and 3 located in Dove Valley Park, Foston, Derbyshire. The bottling plant, MEG Derby (Mitteldeutsche Erfrischungsgetränke), is a specialized facility that forms part of the Schwarz Group's production arm. This ensures that the water is bottled close to the source to maintain its mineral composition and reduce environmental impact.

While the brand was specifically developed for the British market to provide locally-sourced mineral water, the ultimate ownership lies with the Schwarz Group based in Germany. This multi-billion dollar retail group, owned by the Schwarz family, manages global operations for Lidl and Kaufland, maintaining a vertically integrated supply chain where they produce many of their own private label beverages.
