Historical background

Chocolate factory with a nondescript name "Alrika Cream Chocolate" opened in 1912. Later, the factory moved from Cannstat to Waldenbuch, where, by the way, it still operates today.

Chocolate got its name gradually. Ritter - translated as "knight" or "rider". In addition, this is the name of the founder of the company (Alfred Eugen Ritter). And an interesting square shape of the tile was invented by Clara's wife in 1932. The fact was that Clara was a practical woman and noticed that ordinary-shaped chocolate breaks in your pocket when you take it with you. When changing the shape, the mass of the chocolate bar did not suffer, but the second part of the name was added due to the versatility and mobility of the transfer.

Second stage of development

Until about the mid-60s, the company was engaged in the production of a variety of products, which included even chocolate bunnies, boxes of chocolates and ordinary tiles. But then demand showed that additional goods can be abandoned. All efforts were directed to improving the quality of square tiles.

Ritter Sport chocolate received its modern look already in 1976, when wax paper and foil were replaced by one-piece packaging, which later became one of the brand's features.

The brand borrowed the technology of conching from the Swiss factory "Lindt". This is a rather lengthy processthe process of mixing chocolate mass in special machines. With this mixing, the chocolate becomes homogeneous and loses excess moisture along with tannins. At this stage, cocoa butter and vanillin are added to the chocolate.

Today the enterprise is owned by the third generation. The main production is in Waldenbuch. In one day, the factory produces approximately 2.5 million tiles. Next to the factory is the Chocolate Museum. The exposition is not so great, but very interesting. It covers the history of the company and presents many interesting facts about chocolate. There you can also see old wrappers, advertisements from the last century and a mini-film about the production.

Pure milk - the most delicate version of chocolate, which will definitely not cause an allergic reaction. If there are no restrictions on the choice of goodies, then you can choose milk chocolate with raspberries and yogurt or with waffles and strawberries. These chocolates are sweeter and slightly sour, making them especially popular with children.
