Ghirardelli – American heritage
The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is one of the most traditional chocolate companies in the United States and part of America’s chocolate heritage. During the Gold Rush in the mid-1800s, founder Domenico Ghirardelli shrewdly discovered that the exhausted miners were hungry for treats and needed something to spend their gold dust on. Since its historic beginnings in 1852, Domenico Ghirardelli was dedicated to creating premium chocolate with highest quality.
Today, the historic chocolate factory at Ghirardelli Square is one of San Francisco’s landmarks. With its creativity and passion for quality, Ghirardelli proved to be a perfect fit for Lindt & Sprüngli and was therefore acquired in 1998. The most famous products in the brand portfolio of Ghirardelli are the popular Squares which were developed in 1999. Meanwhile available in numerous varieties, the fine chocolate Squares with their liquid core cater to almost every taste of discerning consumers. In addition, Ghirardelli is also famous for its hot fudge sundae as well as baking and professional gastronomy products.
