Maltitol is a high-quality sugar substitute that (via the intermediate stage of malt sugar) is made from starch and, usually, maize or potatoes. Maltitol ensures excellent taste and has less calories than sugar and fructose. It only slightly affects blood sugar levels and is, therefore, particularly suitable for diabetics.

It is thanks to maltitol that RITTER SPORT could develop the first diabetic chocolate, which tastes so good that it’s allowed to use the RITTER SPORT name.
