Ramlösa [1] is a brand of carbonated mineral water from a source in Ramlösa Brunnspark in the southern part of Helsingborg, Sweden. Ramlösa goes back to the year 1707 when a mineral spa around the source was founded by Johan Jacob Döbelius.
Ramlösa is very common in northern Europe and is considered high-quality mineral water. Ramlösa is also popular outside Scandinavia and the water is exported as far as the United States, Middle East, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Ramlösa is today a wholly owned subsidiary of the Danish brewery group Carlsberg.[2]
Swedish commercials for Ramlösa previously had voice-overs by actor Stellan Skarsgård.
