Ritter Sport Haselnuss chocolate bar

Ritter Sport is an iconic German chocolate brand established in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. The brand is world-renowned for its unique square shape, which was introduced in 1932 to fit into a sport jacket pocket without breaking, hence the name 'Sport'. This specific product is the Roasted Hazelnut (Haselnuss) variety, featuring chopped hazelnuts in milk chocolate.

The brand has remained a family-owned business for over a century, currently operating under the name Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. While they source ingredients globally—including cocoa from their own plantation in Nicaragua—their primary manufacturing and production facility remains in Waldenbuch, Germany. The company is noted for its commitment to sustainability, being carbon-neutral at its production sites and utilizing 100% certified sustainable cocoa.
