Symfony2 - fills the navigation bar in layout.html.twig for every page request

Question

In my layout.html.twig, I have a navigation bar with some links. I want the links to be populated from the database.

For example, in the navigation bar, I see "Recent Products." How can I populate the dropdown in main layout.html.twig from the database? (of course, it will be cached in the future)

Do I need to create a filter?

Any help would be great. Thanks

Note. In Symfony 1.4, I would use a component. Does this exist in symfony 2?
