Ritter Sport Nugat

Ritter Sport is a globally recognized German chocolate brand famous for its distinctive square shape and 'Knick-Pack' packaging. Founded in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and his wife Clara in Stuttgart, the brand's unique design was conceived in 1932 to fit perfectly into the pocket of a sport jacket without breaking.

The product is manufactured primarily in Waldenbuch, Germany, where the company maintains its headquarters and main production facility. Ritter Sport is notable for being one of the few large-scale chocolate manufacturers that remains a family-owned enterprise (Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG). The brand emphasizes sustainability, having switched to 100% certified sustainable cocoa and operating its own cocoa plantation, El Cacao, in Nicaragua. The ownership has passed through generations of the Ritter family, maintaining its independence from large global food conglomerates.
