Ritter Sport is an iconic German brand of chocolate bars known for its unique square shape and vibrant packaging. Founded in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and his wife Clara in Stuttgart, the brand's signature 'sport' format was introduced in 1932 to fit into a sport jacket pocket without breaking. The brand has remained a hallmark of German engineering in food, emphasizing 'color, joy, and modern chocolate.'

Unlike many global snack brands, Ritter Sport is still an independent, family-owned company. It is owned by Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG, which continues to manage production primarily from its historic headquarters in Waldenbuch, Germany. The company is noted for its commitment to sustainability, being one of the first major chocolate manufacturers to source 100% certified sustainable cocoa and operating its own plantation in Nicaragua.
