Production[edit | edit source]
The production of Werther's Original involves a complex process that ensures the distinctive flavor and texture of the candies. The process begins with the selection of high-quality ingredients, including fresh cream and real butter. These ingredients are then combined and cooked at a precise temperature to create the caramel. The caramel is then cooled and shaped into the familiar, individually wrapped candies.

In addition to the original hard caramel candies, Werther's Original also offers a variety of other products. These include Werther's Original Soft Caramels, which have a softer texture, and Werther's Original Sugar Free, which are made without added sugar. The brand also produces Werther's Original Caramel Popcorn, a popular snack that combines the flavor of Werther's Original with crunchy popcorn.
