Werther's Original caramel candy

Werther's Original is a globally recognized brand of caramel-flavored candy. The brand was created in 1903 by the confectioner Gustav Nebel in the small town of Werther, Germany. It originally launched under the name Werthers Echte (Werther's Real) before being rebranded internationally.

Today, the brand is owned by August Storck KG, a family-owned German confectionery company that remains headquartered in Berlin. While the primary manufacturing hub for these iconic butter candies is located in Germany (specifically in Halle and Ohrdruf), the global distribution network ensures the product is available in over 100 countries. The ultimate ownership has remained within the Storck family group, maintaining the brand's heritage as a classic European sweet treats producer.
