A lot of people say "Mmmm – like it was back then!" when they describe the taste of Werther's Original.

"Back then" was 1903 in Werther in the Teutoburg Forest when the "Werther steam-powered candy factory" was founded – the keystone for the candy factory that was later renamed after the founder August Storck. Gustav Nebel, one of the first employees, is considered the father of the delicious, doubly creamy Werther's Original because in the end his effort, love, and patience are the reason that they taste so unbelievably good.

A lot has changed since then: An international corporation has grown out of that small workshop in Werther, and Werther's Original is enjoyed by people in over 80 countries around the world today – but luckily a few things have remained the same as they always have done.

We feel the same today as we did back then: It takes a lot of love, care, and the best ingredients to deserve to be called Werther's Original.
