Kirvi Information

Kirvi’s water production has taken place in our factory on the southern island of Suðuroy since 2010. In the first couple of years Kirvi only had water coolers. In 2015 Kirvi started with bottles and in a short space of time, it has become the market leader in Faroe Islands. The natural spring source of our water was discovered 1.5 km. deep into the mountainside between the villages of Lopra and Sumba. The water was immediately popular with the local people and, now that it is bottled and freely available, it has become a real Faroese icon. For decades the people of Faroe Islands have travelled to the village of Lopra and the volcanic Kirvi mountain range in the southern island of Suðuroy to sample the heavenly water that flows there. Lopra is sheltered in a natural harbour setting and from here you can see the unique pyramid shape of the Kirvi mountain. It is from this mountain range that our beautiful water is sourced. The road between Lopra and the village of Sumba makes for a long and arduous journey so in 1988 it was decided to bore a tunnel between the two settlements. During this project the natural spring source was discovered 1.5 km. deep into the mountainside. Our water is naturally sourced and is channelled to our factory by gravity. This makes it one of the most environmentally friendly waters available.
