Werther's Original Sugar Free Butter Candies

Werther's Original is a historic confectionery brand best known for its smooth, creamy butter candies. Originally created in 1903 by Gustav Nebel in the village of Werther, Germany, the recipe combined butter, cream, white and brown sugars, and a pinch of salt. Over the decades, it has evolved from a local specialty into one of the most recognized candy brands worldwide.

The production of Werther's Original remains deeply rooted in its homeland. The vast majority of these candies are manufactured in Germany, specifically at the facilities owned by August Storck KG. From there, they are exported to over 100 countries, maintaining a consistent flavor profile that adheres to the traditional confectionery standards established over a century ago.

The brand is owned by August Storck KG, a major family-owned German confectionery producer. Storck manages a portfolio of well-known international brands, including Toffifee and Merci. As of 2026, the company continues to operate as an independent entity headquartered in Berlin, managing its global distribution through various regional subsidiaries while keeping its primary manufacturing base in Germany.
