R&D Officer - Chocolate and Bakery

Ever since the first LUCULLUS opened in the Peninsula Hotel 40 years ago, originality has been at the heart of what we do. The origin of LUCULLUS trace back to 1976 when it was first a project spun off from Peninsula Hotel Group. Since then, it has established large-scale factories in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. LUCULLUS retail outlets can be found all over Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. 

With nothing but the finest ingredients and a recipe truly unconventional, we create irresistible chocolates, cakes and confectioneries for local sweets lovers. Bringing together East and West, every single bite is a taste of exquisite craftsmanship that pays homage to its roots in Hong Kong. Today, we're giving the dragon a whole new look. Our new brand identity is a bold, modern statement that translates LUCULLUS as an affable yet high-end gourmet chocolate brand.
