About

Company description

JNG · Juan Navarro García is a Spanish specialist in paprika, capsicum, and oleoresins for the food industry. Founded in 1865 in Murcia, Spain, JNG has spent 160+ years and six generations refining one conviction: quality does not begin in the factory. It begins long before, at origin. In the soil, in the way crops are grown, in the careful selection of every harvest, and in every decision made along the way.

Today, JNG supplies food manufacturers in 80+ countries across five continents from its 17,000 m² facility in Espinardo (Murcia), with a production capacity of 15,000 MT. The site brings together every key stage of processing, from monitored cold storage, crushing, and milling to blending, sterilization, and packaging. Double-line steam sterilization delivers a validated 5-log microbial reduction. JNG also operates an in-house oleoresin extraction plant, which gives full control over color, heat, and consistency from raw material to standardized extract.

The range covers paprika powder, conventional and organic(sweet, hot, and smoked, from 40 to 200 ASTA), paprika flakes (0.5 to 7 mm, with or without seeds), cayenne (5,000 to 70,000 SHU), chili powder blends, saffron (powder or threads), paprika oleoresin (10,000 to 60,000 color units), and capsicum oleoresin (100,000 to 1,000,000 SHU), in oil-soluble or water-soluble versions. 

Spices are available untreated or steam-sterilized. JNG has held EU and USDA organic certification since 2004. All products are natural and vegan, and free from ionizing radiation, allergens, GMOs, and unauthorized dyes. When needs go beyond a standard product, JNG develops custom solutions to each customer’s specifications for meat products, sauces, canned foods, snacks, seasonings, ready meals, cheese, and fish products.

Quality is built into every step, not checked at the end. JNG’s in-house laboratory runs physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory analyses to validate raw materials and every stage of the process, minimizing variability from lot to lot. This system is verified by accredited third-party laboratories and backed by BRCGS, ISO 9001, EU and USDA Organic, Halal, Kosher, and ValidIT certifications. JNG is an active member of SEDEX, EcoVadis, ASTA, ESA, AFEXPO, and the Sustainable Spices Initiative.

Because what happens in the field shapes everything that follows, JNG works alongside its growers on the transition to regenerative agriculture: restoring soil health, applying precision agriculture and ongoing monitoring, and managing water more efficiently. For customers, that means more consistent ingredients from harvest to harvest, full traceability, and a more resilient supply. The journey is supported by a Decarbonization Plan based on a detailed assessment of JNG’s emissions.
