A former UN official is selling non-drinking water to kitchens all over the UK. Entrepreneur Andy Inglis launched his bottled Acquamara at the Taste of Edinburgh Festival. Made from purified seawater from the Outer Hebrides, it is priced at £3.95 for a 3-litre container. It is sourced from the waters around the tiny Hebridean island of Berneray, where it is extracted from the sea and passed through a filter to remove dirt and unwanted containing particles. Chefs such as Roy Brett, head chef and proprietor at Edinburgh seafood restaurant Ondine, are said to be using the water to cook things like shellfish in, saying that it enhances the taste.
