Ritter Sport is an iconic German chocolate brand established in 1912 by Alfred and Clara Ritter. The 'Sport' name was introduced in 1932 to describe a chocolate bar that would fit into a sports jacket pocket without breaking, resulting in its famous square shape.

The brand remains a family-owned business, headquartered in Waldenbuch, Germany. While the primary manufacturing plant is located in its hometown, Ritter Sport also operates a production facility in Breitenbrunn, Austria, to meet international demand. The company is well-known for its commitment to sustainability, utilizing 100% certified sustainable cocoa and operating its own cocoa plantation, El Cacao, in Nicaragua.
