Located in Stuttgart Germany, is the small, original factory of Ritter Sport. The company that is still family owned and ran after over 100 years is still thriving and innovating. Operating out of a relatively small factory, they send their products globally.
The factory that they currently work out of is still the orignal and sole factory that produces all of their chocolate products.
During my stay in Germany, I was fortunate enough to go the Ritter Sport factory and learn and make my own chocolates. We learned that white chocolate is contains no actual chocolate (it’s all sugar people!), milk chocolate contains some chocolate and is dilutid with milk and sugar, and finally dark chocolate is pure chocolate with very little dilution. I then was taught how to properly open the packaging.
Every Ritter Sport chocolate bar is packaged with a snap-open back. This means that instead of peeling the packaging, you can simply snap the chocolate squares in half and bamb, the packing will open, easy peasy!
At the factory, there is naturally a store where you can buy all of the different chocolate bars that they offer. When walking in, you believe that you are walking into a chocolate scented rainbow. Each of their packages are different bold colors in different hughes, The darker the packaging, the darker the chocolate it. The prices are discounted so you can stock up on your year, or life, supply, when stopping by.
