In 1998, aQuellé was born through the discovery of a pure, natural water source in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal - a gift from God. The refreshing taste and purity was too good not to share, so the water was bottled and named aQuellé, blending the Latin word "aqua" for water with the German word for spring "Quelle".
