Lu
A French butter biscuit sits differently beside a cup than the shortbread and digestives of the British tin. From Lu, the Nantes biscuit house behind the 1886 Petit Beurre, we stock the Le Petit collection: Le Petit Beurre, the cinnamon Biscotte, the Citron lemon soft bakes, the chocolate chip Cookie and two Le Petit Chocolat lines.

About Lu
Lu is the biscuit house of Nantes. Jean-Romain Lefèvre came to the city in 1846 to work in a pâtisserie, married Pauline-Isabelle Utile in 1850, and the brand takes its name from the first letters of their two surnames. Their son Louis Lefèvre-Utile took over the business in 1883 and in 1886 perfected the recipe for the Véritable Petit Beurre, the biscuit that made the name. Lu is now part of Mondelēz International.
Lu is the mid-afternoon biscuit for anyone who finds British sweet biscuits too soft. Le Petit Beurre wants a clean black tea, an Earl Grey or a light Ceylon. The cinnamon Biscotte takes an Assam, or a cafetière of medium roast. The lemon soft bakes suit a green tea that lets the lemon carry.
