Ritter Sport Whole Hazelnuts milk chocolate

Ritter Sport is an iconic German chocolate brand famous for its distinctive square shape and 'Knick-Pack' packaging, which allows consumers to open the bar by snapping it. The brand was founded in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart, Germany. The specific square design was introduced in 1932 to create a chocolate bar that would fit into a sport jacket pocket without breaking, hence the name 'Ritter Sport'.

The product is primarily manufactured at the company's main production facility in Waldenbuch, Germany. Ritter Sport remains a family-owned business, currently under the management of the third and fourth generations of the Ritter family. The company is well-known for its commitment to sustainability, being one of the first major chocolate manufacturers to source 100% certified sustainable cocoa for its entire product range. It operates its own sustainable cocoa plantation, El Cacao, in Nicaragua, emphasizing its control over the supply chain from bean to bar.
