Ritter Sport Pistachio

Ritter Sport Pistachio is a premium milk chocolate bar featuring crunchy roasted and salted pistachio pieces, part of the brand's 'Nut Selection' range. The brand's history began in 1912 when Alfred Eugen Ritter and Clara Ritter founded a confectionery factory in Stuttgart, Germany. The iconic square shape was invented in 1932 by Clara Ritter, who wanted to create a chocolate bar that would fit into a sports jacket pocket without breaking, yet weigh the same as a standard bar.

The product is primarily manufactured at the company's main facility in Waldenbuch, Germany. As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the family-owned company Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. The company has maintained its independence for over a century, recently expanding its portfolio by acquiring the premium chocolate brand Chocolove in late 2025 to strengthen its international presence.
