Jansana
De una pequeña pastelería familiar a un referente en la repostería sin gluten.
Desde 1930
The story of Pastelería Jansana goes back to 1930, when Antón Jansana
opened a modest grocery store in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda.
However, his true dream was always pastry-making, and on June 26,
1936, he managed to bring that dream to life by opening his own bakery. Just a few months
later, the outbreak of the Civil War plunged the country into a deep crisis.
Despite the hardships, the Jansana family kept the business running,
thanks to the effort and dedication of its founder. Over time, the bakery
evolved, incorporating traditional Catalan sweets made
by hand. Its success led his son, Magín Jansana, to take over
the management and continue the family legacy, which later passed into the hands of his grandson
Antonio.
Pioneers in gluten-free baking
Under Antonio's leadership, Jansana took a decisive turn. In 2013, faced with growing demand for gluten-free products, a dedicated area was set up in the bakery to make these products. What began as a local, altruistic initiative soon revealed an undeniable need: to offer quality options for people with celiac disease. With this goal in mind, in 2015, Antonio made an unprecedented decision in the industry by turning Jansana into a 100% gluten-free bakery.
This change marked an important milestone. The opening of a new shop on Carrer de Balmes in Barcelona established Jansana as a benchmark, drawing customers from all over Spain and abroad. Initial uncertainty about how the public would respond quickly faded, turning the bakery into a meeting point for the celiac community.
Jansana Today
In 2024, after a decade of growth and consolidation, Antonio decided to step back to make way for a new chapter. Wanting to preserve his vision and ensure the continuity of the business, he entrusted Jansana to three partners: Javier, Pol and Enric. The decision to take over Jansana grew out of Javier's deep personal connection to it — a celiac himself and a loyal customer of the bakery, he understands first-hand how important this place is for people living with the condition.
For him, this goes beyond the purely commercial: it's a personal mission focused on giving the celiac community the chance to enjoy bread, pastries and baked goods without compromising on flavor or quality. With a renewed vision, his goal is to turn Jansana into a refuge for many more people, where tradition and innovation come together to keep winning hearts.
