Ritter Sport is an iconic German chocolate brand, famously known for its square-shaped bars. Founded in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart, Germany, the brand's unique shape was invented by Clara Ritter in 1932 to ensure the chocolate bar could fit into a sport jacket pocket without breaking.

The global production for Ritter Sport is primarily centered in Waldenbuch, Germany, where its main factory is located. The brand remains family-owned to this day, staying independent of large multinational food conglomerates like Nestlé or Mondelēz. It is managed by Alfred T. Ritter GmbH & Co. KG, maintaining a strong focus on sustainability, including 100% certified sustainable cocoa sourcing.
