Carmencita Spices

Carmencita is one of Spain's most iconic spice brands, with a history dating back to 1920 when its founder, Jesús Navarro Jover, began trading saffron in Novelda, Alicante. The brand is instantly recognizable by the image of the founder's daughter on its packaging, which has remained a symbol of the company's family heritage for over a century.

The products are primarily manufactured and processed in Spain, where the company operates large-scale production facilities in Novelda. Over the decades, Carmencita has expanded from a local saffron trader to a global leader in the seasoning industry, offering a vast array of products from traditional Mediterranean herbs to specialized blends for paella and international cuisines.

Today, the brand is owned and managed by the company Jesús Navarro S.A. It remains a family-driven enterprise, maintaining its headquarters in the Valencian community. The company is committed to sustainable growth and continues to be a dominant player in the European spice market while exporting to dozens of countries worldwide.
