Le Caramel

It all started 10 years ago, when Christen and Vincent Kugener met Daniel Palix, one of the best caramel makers in France. M. Palix, nearing retirement, wanted to pass on his traditional recipes to the next generation of caramel makers who would carry his legacy into the future. Lucky enough to be these people, Christen and Vincent traveled around France with Palix for a year to learn how to make traditional sea salt caramel. They decided to move to the U.S. in 2008 where they set up a caramel factory in east county San Diego.

In 2009, Le Caramel was born with only one product: the sea salt caramel cream, still a best seller today. This launched their wholesale business, selling their caramel cream and quickly their caramels all around the United States. In 2011, as the business began to grow, they hired their first full-time employee and started making flavored caramel candies. In 2017, Le Caramel moved to a new factory with a bigger and brighter boutique located at 1181 Pioneer way, El Cajon, CA 92020.
