Ritter Sport Puur Hele Hazelnoot chocolate bar

Ritter Sport is an iconic German chocolate brand established in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart. The brand is famous for its unique square shape, introduced in 1932 to ensure the chocolate bar could fit into a sport jacket pocket without breaking, which eventually led to the name Ritter's Sport Chocolate.

The product shown is from the 'Nut Selection' range, featuring dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts. Manufacturing is primarily concentrated at the company's main production site in Waldenbuch, Germany. Ritter Sport remains an independent, family-owned company, managed today by the third generation of the Ritter family. They are well-known for their commitment to sustainability, being one of the first major chocolate manufacturers to own their cocoa plantation and achieving carbon-neutral production.
