Ritter Sport Pfefferminz chocolate bar

Ritter Sport is an iconic German chocolate brand, most famous for its unique square shape and 'Knick-Pack' packaging design. The brand was founded in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and his wife Clara in Stuttgart, Bad Cannstatt. The specific peppermint variety shown here is one of the classic flavors in their extensive range.

Today, the brand remains a family-owned business, operated by Alfred T. Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. Unlike many large confectionery brands that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Ritter Sport has maintained its independence. The products are primarily manufactured at their headquarters in Waldenbuch, Germany. The company is also noted for its commitment to sustainability, operating its own cocoa plantation, El Cacao, in Nicaragua to ensure high social and ecological standards for its raw materials.
