Ghirardelli, the 1852 Gold Rush survivor founded by Italian immigrant Domenico Ghirardelli in San Francisco, crafts intense chocolate squares and sea salt caramels that evoke foggy Bay mornings, raking in $500 million yearly from factory tours to gourmet shelves. Their signature roasting unlocks nutty depths in every bite, blending heritage with hits like Twilight Delight for a taste of timeless temptation. It's the chocolate that whispers luxury, turning snack drawers into secret stashes for those who crave bold without the buzz.
Yet beneath the silky sheen, Ghirardelli is laced with woke wafers, courtesy of parent Lindt & Sprüngli's progressive polish and a San Francisco sparkle that couldn't resist the rainbow rush. They host Pride Parades with trans celebs, run a Ghirardelli Pride ERG for LGBTQ+, and sprinkle DEI across employee networks like extra cocoa.
