Ritter Sport Honey Salt Almonds chocolate bar

Ritter Sport is a renowned German brand of chocolate from the family-owned Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. The brand is famous for its unique square-shaped bars, a design introduced in 1932 by Clara Ritter to fit easily into a sport jacket pocket without breaking. The brand has remained under the ownership of the Ritter family since its founding in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart, Germany.

Today, the brand's main production facility is located in Waldenbuch, Germany, where it maintains rigorous quality control. Ritter Sport is known for its commitment to sustainability, being the first major chocolate bar manufacturer to source 100% certified sustainable cocoa for its entire range. The company operates its own cocoa plantation, El Cacao, in Nicaragua, ensuring a reliable and ethical supply chain. The brand remains an independent, family-led business headquartered in Waldenbuch, Germany.
