Werther's Original confectionery

Werther's Original is a global confectionery brand famous for its butterscotch candies. The brand was established in 1903 in the town of Werther, Germany, by Gustav Nebel. His original recipe, consisting of real butter, fresh cream, white and brown sugars, and a pinch of salt, remains the foundation for the brand's identity today.

The manufacturing occurs primarily in Germany, under the strict oversight of the August Storck KG. Over the decades, the product line has expanded from the classic hard candy to include chewy toffees, soft caramels, and popcorn variants, all maintaining the signature caramel flavor profile.

The brand is owned by August Storck KG, a family-owned German confectionery company. Storck has successfully marketed Werther's Original in over 100 countries, making it one of the most recognizable caramel brands in the world while maintaining its heritage as a traditional German sweet.
