The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is a United States division of Swiss candy-maker Lindt & Sprüngli. The company was founded in San Francisco, California, USA in 1852 by Italian chocolatier Domingo Ghirardelli. It has since moved to San Leandro[1]. Ghirardelli once was one of the largest regional independent chocolate brands in the United States until it was bought by Lindt & Sprüngli in 1998. Ghirardelli chocolates are known for their unique gourmet style. Some chocolate is still made in Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco. Patrons of the cornerstone eatery enjoy the spectacle of huge masses of folding chocolate as it is prepared according to the elegant traditions of Ghirardelli chocolatiers.
