BETA5 is a contemporary and innovative chocolate and pastry shop based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They meld art and science, and emphasize technical precision and design to create visually stunning products that showcase the flavors with which they work. The form-5 beta crystal structure is the most stable form of cocoa butter crystallization, formed through the controlled melting, and subsequent cooling (tempering) of liquid chocolate. Their chocolates are produced in small batches using sustainable, direct trade plantation chocolates and premium ingredients. Careful alignment of the BETA5 matrix results in the chocolates’ distinctive shine and crisp snap. The brand was named as one of North America’s Top Ten Chocolatiers, and has received numerous International Chocolate Awards.
