Q for Roman Catholics about 'souvenir' holy water

I've been to several RC religious sites where holy water is for sale. I understand holy water is blessed by a priest. I'm curious though if someone can tell me about the water sold as souvenirs. Is the water collected at that site and then blessed? Is it water brought from somewhere else and then blessed at the site? Is there any requirement, for there to be a connection between the water and the site?

Thanks
