Carbonation can be one of the most important characteristics to impact the Mouthfeel and influnce the flavours in Water ,
it is very important for pairing aswell to use the carbonation as a tool to change the perception of the food it will be paired with.
natural carbonation , yes the water rises to the surface with bubbles in it from the natural volcanic , and Artificial carbonation is where carbon has been absorbed into the water that we have added.
Both are very tasty , and both taste different, understanding more about carbonation will create better dining experiences, and more enjoyment.
