LU Petit Beurre biscuit

LU Petit Beurre biscuits are a classic French treat with a rich history dating back to 1886. Created by Louis Lefèvre-Utile, son of the brand's founders Jean-Romain Lefèvre and Pauline-Isabelle Utile, these biscuits have become a staple in French households and beyond. The distinctive design features four corners, fourteen teeth in length, ten teeth in width, and twenty-four indents, symbolizing the four seasons, fifty-two weeks of the year, and twenty-four hours in a day. The biscuits are primarily produced in France, with a significant manufacturing facility located in La Haie-Fouassière, near Nantes, where over 9,000 tons of Petit Beurre are produced annually. In 1986, LU was acquired by Groupe Danone, and in 2007, it became part of Kraft Foods Inc. (now Mondelez International) following Kraft's acquisition of Danone's global biscuit business. Today, LU continues to produce a variety of biscuits, including the iconic Petit Beurre, under the ownership of Mondelez International.
