Werther's Original Caramel & Crème

Werther's Original is a storied brand of butterscotch and caramel candies that holds a significant place in the global confectionery market. The brand originated in the small town of Werther, Germany, in 1909, created by the confectioner Gustav Nebel for the company August Storck KG. Known for its slow-cooked, high-quality ingredients like real butter and fresh cream, the brand has expanded from its classic hard candy into soft caramels, chewy centers, and popcorn variants.

The production of Werther's Original remains deeply rooted in Germany, with the primary manufacturing facilities located in the Westphalian region. August Storck KG remains a family-owned enterprise, maintaining tight control over the recipe and quality standards that have made the gold-packaged candies a household name worldwide. Today, the brand is exported to over 100 countries and continues to be managed by the Oberwelland family, who have overseen the company’s expansion since its founding.
