History
Perhaps our history begins with Alexander the Great himself, who, according to legend, quenched his thirst from our spring while leading his army through our lands. However, our modern history begins more than a century ago.
1912

Tomorrow
With recent investments, such as the new bottling unit at the Poiro location, the company ensures further growth and meets the increasing demand.
The reputation of Xino Nero began traveling beyond the village borders as early as the beginning of the 20th century. In 1912, its water was recorded for the first time as “therapeutic,” quickly gaining a special place in both the scientific community and popular consciousness. It soon participated in international exhibitions, winning awards for its quality, distinctive taste, and beneficial properties.
One of its most distinctive features has always been its fully natural carbonation, a rare and precious trait. The water is recognized as naturally carbonated at its source.Its organized bottling began in the mid-20th century, with the creation of the local Municipal Bottling Enterprise of Xino Nero.The company is not merely a production facility but a pillar for the local community, operating according to social responsibility standards. Revenue supports public projects, jobs remain local, and the product retains its authenticity without being sacrificed for mass production.
Despite the challenges of the times, Xino Nero maintains its unaltered quality. Every bottle leaving the factory carries a piece of the region’s soul: the altitude, the springs, the land, the mountain air, and the tradition of a community that still believes in the values of “pure” and “genuine.”
Tasting Room
Το Ξινό Νερό είναι κάτι παραπάνω από ένα προϊόν: είναι ένα σύμβολο ανθεκτικότητας, ποιότητας και τοπικής περηφάνειας, ένα δώρο της φύσης που οι άνθρωποι του Αμυνταίου φρόντισαν με αγάπη και διορατικότητα, ώστε να φτάσει καθαρό και αυθεντικό στο τραπέζι κάθε οικογένειας, στην Ελλάδα και πέρα απ’ αυτήν.
Xino Nero is more than a product: it is a symbol of resilience, quality, and local pride, a gift from nature nurtured with care and foresight by the people of the region, arriving clean and authentic on the table of every family, in Greece and beyond.
Xino Nero and Recognition
The international recognition of Xino Nero began in 1930, when the region’s water was distinguished at the Thessaloniki Exhibition. Since then, it has received numerous awards at international exhibitions, with the pinnacle being the Gold Medal at the Vienna Exhibition in 1937, recorded as one of the finest natural mineral waters in Europe. At the same time, Xino Nero reached pharmacies, sanatoriums, and prestigious hotels, gaining fame that extended beyond Greece.
In the post-war years, official recognition of the water as therapeutic by the Greek state strengthened its reputation, and the establishment of the Municipal Bottling Company marked a turning point: the water ceased to be merely known; it became a symbol of quality and local pride, with continuous participation in taste and quality competitions and coverage by Greek and international journalists.
