LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) November 08, 2021
Caliwater, the cactus based functional beverage, is now available in the refrigerated beverage section of all Erewhon locations, including their new Studio City location, across Southern California as of November 2021. Erewhon, LA's luxury health-food market, has been committed to providing organic, sustainable, pure, and nutrient-rich foods and products to the communities it serves, which aligns with the beliefs of the Caliwater brand and their origin.
Caliwater is defined by a drive to create innovative, fresh functional beverages that connect us to the Earth and to one another. Inspired by the lush and varied landscapes of California, Founders Oliver Trevena (Actor/Host/Entrepreneur) and native Californian Vanessa Hudgens (Actress/Music Artist/Influencer/Entrepreneur) looked to their own desert regions to locally source Prickly Pear cactus fruit, known for its rare and potent healthful properties. Their vision - to sip on Cali in a can. Prickly Pear is brought to life in beverage form in their quickly growing canned cactus water product, which is not only delicious and organic, but super hydrating and refreshing, and of course filled with rare antioxidants and digestion benefits. http://www.drinkcaliwater.com

The Founders: After 12 years of friendship that formed in California but inclusive of world travels, brand founders Oliver Trevena and Vanessa Hudgens combined their passions and creative visions together for the next phase of Caliwater, the incredible canned beverage they introduced to the world earlier this year, with expansion products to roll out in 2022.
Vanessa, a well respected actress and entertainer, known as a staple California girl, associated with her free spirit, festival vibe and down to earth aesthetic, desired to bottle this discovered passion in a drink that is reflective of her deep love for beauty and skincare. Oliver, who hails from the UK but has been a staple in Los Angeles hosting across top entertainment networks for over a decade, starred in several movies & involved in various fashion and entrepreneurial projects, was excited to apply his business vision with Vanessa to formulate this innovative product.
