Introducing Indian Inspired Confectionery by Devnaa

Sep 7 2010 --- Devnaa, is proud to introduce a collection of delicately spiced chocolates inspired by the flavours of India. Formerly Barfibox, Devnaa has re-launched with a new brand image -- luxurious, colourful and equally as inspired by India as the confections. Devnaa’s mark is a bold ‘mango’ design which takes inspiration from the iconic paisley print popular across India.
The collection of Indian sweets was created by combining traditional techniques and flavours with aspects of modern, artisan chocolate making, producing a range of truly unique, irresistible bite sized confections.
Devnaa was launched by siblings Roopa and Jay Rawal. Their journey began at the family’s kitchen table with relatives and friends praising Roopa’s homemade Indian desserts, in particular the chocolate barfi (pronounced ber-fee, which is a modern twist on a traditional Indian sweet).
The two decided to make a go of it, but first needed to learn more. Jay travelled to India to research the best authentic sweets and Roopa to the ‘Slattery School of Excellence’ to learn about artisan chocolate.
Back together in London, they shared their experiences and ideas, and began development of an all new collection of sweets and desserts by combining the authentic Indian recipes with artisan chocolate techniques.
The results are getting rave reviews. Their products have won Gold Great Taste Awards two consecutive years -- the most recent for their chai masala milk chocolate truffle which is made using their signature blend of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves and Belgian chocolate.
“We like to think of each one of our creations as an irresistible masterpiece, made with the same love and dedication as the inspiring sweet makers in India,” says Jay Rawal.
