The GOODS from Beta5

Vancouver, BC | Local, celebrated chocolatier BETA5 Chocolates (BETA5) is giving Canadians exclusive access to its French premium chocolate in bulk, in addition to creating a weekly “Emergency Stash Box” for all those sweet craving needs. The new items are available in BETA5’s online store for nationwide shipping or for pick-up on Fridays at 409 Industrial Ave.

“Our team is small but we are passionate about what we do, and we want to continue making great chocolate for our fans, family, and friends,” says pastry chef/chocolatier Adam Chandler, who co-owns BETA5 with his wife Jess Rosinski. “We also recognize it has been difficult for home bakers to source good chocolate, which is why we started a new provisions section in our web store. Valrhona chocolates are some of the best in the world. We’ll also likely add chocolate making kits and more very soon.”

Chocolate lovers can find a variety of French-made Valrhona artisanal chocolate under Provisions in BETA5’s online store. Current available flavours, in 125g and 200g sizes, include 64% Manjari Dark Chocolate, BETA5’s custom 46% milk chocolate, 37% Strawberry Inspiration Couverture, and 33% Opalys White Chocolate.

The weekly “Emergency Stash Box” is $65 and drops each Monday, It features a limited batch of treats and popular returning BETA5 items from the past. This week’s stash box includes three of BETA5’s chef collaboration bars: Side of Milk with Doug Stephen of DL Chicken Shack, Superhalva with Dallah El of SuperBaba, and Eat Your Veggies! With Bryan Satterford of BeetBox. The other chocolate treats include Intergalactic candy bars (think nougat and caramel, inspired by that planetary bar you’ll find at corner stores), and dark chocolate-covered sponge toffee.

“The stash box is exactly what we want it to be – a stash of treats to satisfy all those sweet tooths out there, especially during this time,” adds Chandler. “It also makes a great gift, and we ship across Canada.”

In addition to the new chocolate previsions and stash box, BETA5 has also released special cream puff boxes for preorder and contactless pick-up at its cafe every Friday.
