Ghirardelli

Ghirardelli is a San Francisco-based chocolate maker founded in 1852 and now part of Lindt & Sprungli. The Intense Dark squares line (60%, 72%, 86%) uses short ingredient lists — cacao, sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla — and scores competitively among premium dark chocolates. The flavored squares (Sea Salt Soiree, Caramel) add more sugar and milkfat, which drops the score. Our pages differentiate each Ghirardelli line and compare to Lindt Excellence, Hu, and Endangered Species at the same cacao percentage.
