Voss is a brand of bottled water bottled in Norway, and available in still and sparkling forms.
Voss water is bottled by Voss of Norway ASA, a Norwegian Limited Company headquartered in Oslo, and marketed in over 50 countries[citation needed] with a focus[citation needed] on the United States.
In 2007 Women's Health magazine's rated Voss first among several bottled waters.[1] However, in tests sponsored by Finland's national broadcasting company, YLE, three blindfolded wine experts rated Voss water lowest of the six waters tested, which included Helsinki public tap water.[2]
In October 2010, Norway's TV 2 reported that Voss is tap water from the municipal water supply in Iveland and, contrary to Voss marketing,[3] is not artesian.[4][5][6] TV 2 continued to maintain these claims despite Voss objections.[7]
The company's cylindrical glass bottle was designed by Neil Kraft.[8] Voss claims its manufacturing process is completely carbon neutral.[9]
