Werther's Original Sahnebonbons

Werther's Original Sahnebonbons are iconic butter candies that trace their heritage back to 1909 in the small German town of Werther. The original recipe was crafted by confectioner Gustav Nebel, using simple but high-quality ingredients like real butter and fresh cream. The brand was officially marketed as 'Werthers Echte' (Werther’s Genuine) starting in 1969, before adopting the international name 'Werther's Original' in the 1990s to better serve a global market.

Today, the brand remains under the ownership of August Storck KG, a prominent family-owned German confectionery company. While the brand is named after its town of origin, production moved decades ago and is now primarily centered in Halle (Westphalia) and Berlin, Germany. The brand has grown from a single hard candy into a diverse portfolio of caramels and toffees enjoyed in over 100 countries worldwide.
