What Is Kunafa?
An Iconic Middle Eastern Pastry
Before talking about Kunafa chocolate, it’s important to understand what kunafa is.
Kunafa is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made with:
-
ultra-fine vermicelli (or fine semolina),
-
melted butter,
-
cheese or cream,
-
sugar syrup flavored with orange blossom or rose water.
The result is a crispy and creamy pastry, cherished across the Arab world during celebrations and special occasions.
The Fusion with Chocolate
Rifai had the bold idea of blending this traditional pastry with chocolate to create a completely new indulgence that combines:
-
the creaminess of milk chocolate,
-
the crunch of kunafa strands,
-
and delicate oriental notes for a refined finish.
