The old world recipe. Classic caramels made with real butter and fresh cream. American Culinary ChefsBest: 2010 Chefs Best Award, Best Taste. (The ChefsBest Award for Best Taste is awarded to the brand rated highest overall among leading brands by independent professional chefs.) Awarded by professional chefs of ChefsBest. 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 creamy taste of Werther's Original in a chewy caramel. Part of your world. Made in Germany.
