Ritter Sport is a German chocolate manufacturer renowned for its distinctive square-shaped chocolate bars and commitment to quality ingredients. Founded in 1912 by Alfred and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart, the company has grown into an internationally recognized brand while remaining family-owned. The iconic square format, introduced in 1932, was designed to fit neatly into a sports jacket pocket without breaking—giving rise to the name “Sport.”
The brand is known for its wide variety of flavours, ranging from classic milk chocolate to more innovative combinations featuring nuts, fruits, and fillings. Ritter Sport places strong emphasis on sustainability and responsible sourcing, particularly in its cocoa supply chain, and has invested in its own cocoa farm in Nicaragua to ensure transparency and quality control.
With a focus on vibrant packaging, consistent portioning, and high production standards, Ritter Sport has positioned itself as a premium yet accessible chocolate brand, widely available across Europe and in international markets.
