Ghirardelli Chocolate Company
Overview
The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is a historic American chocolate manufacturer founded in 1852 by Italian chocolatier Domenico Ghirardelli. As one of the oldest chocolate companies in the United States, it is renowned for its premium quality chocolate products. The company began during the California Gold Rush, initially serving miners with a general store in Stockton, California, before establishing a confectionery shop in San Francisco.
Known for its innovative chocolate-making techniques, including the Broma process which enhances chocolate flavor, the company offers a wide range of chocolate bars, squares, baking products, and chocolate-based beverages. Ghirardelli's flagship store at Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco stands as a notable landmark, reflecting a rich heritage in American chocolate. Since 1998, it has been part of the Lindt & Sprüngli group, further cementing its reputation in the premium chocolate market.
