Ritter Sport Weisse Voll-Nuss chocolate bar

Ritter Sport is an iconic German chocolate brand, famous for its unique square-shaped bars. The brand was founded in 1912 by Alfred Eugen Ritter and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart, Germany. The specific square design was introduced in 1932 by Clara Ritter, who wanted a chocolate bar that could fit into a sports jacket pocket without breaking while maintaining the weight of a standard bar.

Today, the company remains a family-owned business, managed by the third generation of the Ritter family under the official name Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. The primary manufacturing facility is located in Waldenbuch, Germany, where the vast majority of their global supply is produced. Ritter Sport is highly regarded for its commitment to sustainability, being one of the first major chocolate manufacturers to source 100% certified sustainable cocoa.
