Ghirardelli Chocolate Company Ghirardelli has been inspired by our San Francisco home since 1852. Ghirardelli represents a range of truly exceptional chocolate experiences, from classic, individually wrapped SQUARES to bars to baking chips and sauces. Ghirardelli makes products in the US and controls the entire chocolate-making process from cocoa bean to finished product, which delivers the signature intense, smooth-melting taste consumers have come to know and love. Whether it be luscious Caramel, Intense & complex Dark Chocolate, or festive Peppermint Bark, there is a flavor for everyone. Ghirardelli makes Life a Bite Better.
