This candy store is the front room of the small manufacturing facility for Lula's gourmet chocolates. It's located in a light-industrial area on the outskirts of Monterey. At this factory, they have displays of all their boxed assortments, and there is someone available during working hours to sell their chocolates. (Factory tours are available only by appointment.)
Lula's is named after the founder's grandmother, who taught him how to make chocolates and gave him her recipes.
"Honoring his grandmother’s traditional recipes and techniques, Scott Lund has never forgotten the importance of using the very finest ingredients. His goal is to bring out the best in them and thus produce the world’s finest chocolates. He uses only whole nuts, slow roasting them for better flavor and crunch; he combines fresh dairy cream with pure cane sugar, stirring the magical liquid for an hour-and-a-half before mixing in additional fresh cream and butter to produce his famously buttery, delicious caramel. It all started with Grandma Lula Lund’s recipes and formulations. Now her kitchen-cooked confections are being reimagined for a new generation by her grandson, Scott, whose artistry results in to-die-for chocolates made in lovingly small, fabulously fresh batches."
