Guittard Chocolate Company is a California-based producer of premium chocolate with a long family heritage. Founded in 1868 in San Francisco, it is recognized as the oldest continuously family-owned and operated chocolate company in the United States and is currently steered by the fourth and fifth generations of the founding family. The firm serves professional bakers, confectioners, and chocolate manufacturers seeking high-quality ingredients, while maintaining a focus on sustainable cocoa sourcing and the welfare of cocoa workers.

Based in Burlingame, California, Guittard has broadened its product lineup to meet evolving dietary needs, including a dairy-free line launched in 2023 with dairy-free kosher pareve processing capabilities. The company has pursued environmental initiatives consistent with its history, such as installing solar energy at its facilities in California. Through its enduring family governance and emphasis on sustainability, Guittard continues to play a notable role in the premium chocolate segment as both an ingredient supplier and a producer of finished products.
