Ritter Sport Die Starke 81% Dark Chocolate

Ritter Sport is a renowned German chocolate brand characterized by its iconic square-shaped bars, which were originally designed by Clara Ritter in 1932 to fit into a sport jacket pocket without breaking. This specific variant, part of the 'Die Starke' intense cocoa line, features 81% cocoa sourced specifically from Ghana.

The brand has remained a family-owned enterprise since its founding in 1912 by Alfred Eugen Ritter and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart. Today, the company, Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG, is headquartered in Waldenbuch, Germany. It is notable for its commitment to sustainability, being the first major chocolate bar manufacturer to source 100% certified sustainable cocoa. All production is centralized in Germany at their Waldenbuch facility to maintain strict quality standards before being exported worldwide.
