Ritter Sport is a renowned brand of chocolate from the family-owned company Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. The brand originated in 1912 in Stuttgart, Germany, when Alfred Ritter and his wife Clara founded a chocolate factory. The iconic 'Sport' name and square shape were introduced by Clara Ritter in 1932, designed to fit into the pocket of a sport jacket without breaking, providing energy to sports enthusiasts.

Today, the brand remains headquartered in Waldenbuch, Germany. Most of its production takes place at its primary facility in Waldenbuch, maintaining a strong commitment to its German heritage. Ritter Sport is well-known for being one of the first major chocolate manufacturers to commit to 100% certified sustainable cocoa sourcing, as highlighted on its modern packaging. The company remains independent and family-owned, resisting the global trend of mergers and acquisitions in the confectionery industry.
