Our identity
For the collection of thyme, sage and rosemary from the Sierras de Baza, Filabres, Los Vélez and Huéscar, halfway between Granada and Almería, in the southeast of Spain.
A handmade rope network is used as a very open sack that allows collectors to transport and load. This network is a JARPIL.
This Jarpil represents our vision for the production and marketing of our products, establishing a network (jarpil) of producers and collaborators. From tradition, respecting and valuing our biodiversity.
Biodiversity Paradise
Andalusia is the only Spanish community where you can find different species and chemotypes of species such as cantueso, rosemary or thyme.
In Almería alone, one of the eight Andalusian provinces, we have cataloged eleven species and several hybrids of the genus Thymus (thyme). This is just a small example of the rich biodiversity of Andalusia and our clear commitment to value it for our clients.
EL JARPIL produces, markets and distributes essential oils and other organic products from wild plants or certified crops since 2004.
Located in Almería, El Jarpil was born in 2004 as a result of the passion and study of its manager for aromatic plants and essential oils.
Pedro Pablo Pellín Martínez, CEO of the company, began at the end of the nineties to document the production process of essential oils and, as a result of his work with a family from the Sierra de Baza dedicated to this type of production, gives the leap to the joint marketing and production of these products, an association that still exists.
Over time, El Jarpil has evolved, increasing its network of producers and suppliers, and expanding its range of products but always with clear and firm values.
It currently has a wide range of essential oils and products with more than 200 product references, all in an ecological range for different industries such as cosmetics, food, or pharmaceuticals, among others.
R&D and product quality have played a determining role in the company’s role, from the study, characterization, and valorization in international markets of chemotypes unknown to the industry, at the beginning of the company. Even formulation, packaging, consulting, or portable distillation services today.
Since our beginning we have always kept in mind the importance of internationalization, currently, we export 70% of our turnover.
France is our main market, although our products reach Germany, the United States, Canada, China and India.
Product quality, throughout the entire chain
Our network (jarpil) of producers and distributors allows us to establish control and direct contact with the raw material, from the beginning to the end of the supply chain.
Providing us with an exhaustive traceability system, based on the analysis of the raw materials sold. At Jarpil, more than 500 analyzes are carried out annually. (COA, multi-residues, mycotoxins, PA/TA, microbiological, heavy metals, sterols, peroxides/acidity, thalates, PAH, among others.)
All of this allows us to guarantee product quality and safety to our clients in each of their sectors.
International calling
Jarpil was born from wanting to introduce those endemic essential oils to the French and Spanish markets.
Over time, we have evolved to become exporters mainly to European countries but also to countries outside of it: the US, Canada or China among others.
Currently, 80% of all marketing is destined for export.
