The old world recipe. A long time ago, in the small European village of Werther, candy-maker Gustav Nebel created his finest candy. He used the best ingredients - real butter, fresh cream, white and brown sugars, a pinch of salt and a lot of time - to create a treasure worthy of being wrapped in gold. Because they turned out especially well, they were named Werther’s Original in honor of the little village. Crafting this smooth, creamy caramel became a family tradition handed down through generations. Today, people can also enjoy the delicious flavor combination of caramel and rich coffee in Werther's Original Caramel Coffee Hard Candies. Storck. Part of your world.
