“Trying is buying” with Develdas luxury chocolates

Develdas is a small independent brand of Luxury Chocolates with a shop at Brighton Marina and online through their Website and Facebook page.

Their Valentino chocolates are made by a family-run business in Belgium. The chocolates are handmade and made to order and therefore always fresh unlike a supermarket where a box can easily be 1 year old before you get it home. From when they order their chocolates the production time is about 10 days to when they arrive at their shop. The cost involved in this process is high as in the summer they are shipped by air cooled transport.

Their slogan is “trying is buying” the quality is superb and the freshness is evident but the taste is out of this world. Many times in their shop you hear a lot of “oh my God, these are amazing”.

They partner with the  Valentino family in Belgium as they are well established and good to work with. They are easy to talk to, open to suggestions and will bend over backwards to get you the answer to a question about any of our products. For example, we had a call from a customer who is diabetic and needed to know the exact sugar/carb content per 100gr of the Valentino Sugar Free range. We could not find it in the files, so I approached Valentino and they went so far as to send me the original technical fiche of that product, analysing every single ingredient in percentages. That is something they do not normally share but they did it because they requested it. Valentino are very supportive of Develdas in everything we do and allow us to promote their range of Luxury Chocolates through a contract we have in place with them.

In the range there are over 100 different chocolates, of which we carry about 40 in the shop. We can make up Ballotins with regular chocolates, vegan, alcohol-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free (though that is usually vegan) all with the same great quality.

There are a lot of chocolates out there in the marketplace but some are either bland or very similar to each other whereas the chocolates that Develdas offer are different, delicious and truly luxurious. 

Customers who visit the shop enjoy the choice and we always have ballotins ready made and pre-packed with a selection of our chocolates either in the shop or on the website. Gift packs are available or can be made up to your specification so if you are looking for a Special Gift to say thank you, or to use as a Company Promotion please get in touch… Your taste buds will thank you…
