Ritter Sport Alpine Milk Chocolate

Ritter Sport is a renowned German chocolate manufacturer that has become iconic for its unique square-shaped bars. Founded in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and Clara Ritter in Bad Cannstatt, Stuttgart, the company is still a family-owned enterprise. The "Sport" name was introduced in 1932 by Clara Ritter, who proposed making a chocolate bar that would fit into the pocket of a sports jacket without breaking, while remaining the same weight as a standard bar.

The Alpine Milk Chocolate variety is produced using 100% certified sustainable cocoa sourcing, reflecting the brand's commitment to ethical supply chains. To this day, the production of Ritter Sport chocolate remains centralized in Germany, primarily at their main facility in Waldenbuch. The brand is managed under the family-owned holding company Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG, which continues to maintain its independence from larger food conglomerates, focusing on high-quality ingredients and traditional manufacturing processes.
