In 2016, LU celebrated its 170th birthday! Founded in 1846, LU began as a small family business in France, when two young French bakers, Jean-Romain Lefèvre and Pauline-Isabelle Utile, fell in love, married and began creating exquisite biscuits together, which they proudly imprinted with their two initials. Their passion for fine ingredients and distinctive, original biscuits inspires every LU cookie and we bake today.
