The beans
Single-origin from Asunafo and Los Ríos, bought through the same two importers since we opened. We know which farms, and we know what last season was like.
Since 2017 · Al Quoz, Dubai
Swiss chocolate, made in the Emirates
A small kitchen in Alserkal Avenue, nine people, and a stubborn refusal to make anything we would not put on our own table.
Our Story
Lucille began with a simple belief: that chocolate deserves the same devotion as any work of art.
In our Dubai atelier, every piece is shaped by hand — from the first melt to the final dusting of cocoa. We work in small batches, with patience and precision, because we believe true luxury cannot be rushed.
Our collections are made to be shared: at the table, in celebration, and in the quiet rituals of everyday life. A tray passed between friends. A gift that says what words cannot. A moment made sweeter.
Lucille — where chocolate becomes art.

From bean to box
The making
Three things we take too seriously
The temper
Sixty hours from bean to box, most of it waiting. Tempering cannot be hurried without the snap going soft and the shine going dull, and both are the point.
The finish
Every shell filled, closed and dusted by hand. A machine would be faster and more even, and you would be able to tell.
What we hold to
Three promises, and what they cost us
Each of these makes the chocolate more expensive or more fragile to sell. We have kept all three anyway, because the alternative is a product that travels well and tastes like it.
Nothing we cannot name
Cocoa, butter, cream, sugar, nuts, fruit. No palm oil, no artificial preservatives, no vegetable fat standing in for cocoa butter.
Made this week
We hold no long-term stock. If something is sold out, it is because it is being made, not because a warehouse is empty.
Chilled the whole way
Every UAE delivery travels in a temperature-controlled vehicle. Chocolate that arrives warm is chocolate we would rather not have sent.
Come and taste the argument
Start with an assortment if you are not sure. It is the fastest way to find out which of these you will keep coming back for.
