Where it comes from
Werther's Original comes from the village of Werther in Germany, where Gustav Nebel created the recipe in 1903 and called it Werthersche Echte, meaning the genuine article from Werther. It was sold only in Germany for decades and became an international product from the 1980s, carried by an advertising campaign about a grandfather and grandson that ran for years.
What it's made of
Sugar, glucose syrup, cream, condensed whey and butter boiled to a hard toffee, wrapped individually.
