130 Years in Baltimore
Goetze's Candy Company was founded in 1895 as the Baltimore Chewing Gum Company before pivoting to its signature caramel products. The company has operated at the same Baltimore, Maryland site for its entire history — an unusual continuity in an American candy industry that has seen massive consolidation and overseas manufacturing migration.
The Goetze family has maintained ownership across five generations, preserving the original formulations and manufacturing processes that define the products. Caramel Creams were introduced in 1918, just after the end of World War I, and Cow Tales followed in 1984. Both products use real dairy milk and cream sourced from American dairy farms — a formulation standard that Goetze's has maintained even as most commercial candy producers have substituted vegetable fats and artificial dairy flavors.
The Caramel Cream Formula
A Caramel Cream is a specific confection: a caramel shell formed around a sweet cream center, the two components joined in a single piece that delivers contrasting textures in each bite. The caramel exterior is chewy without being sticky; the cream center is smooth and sweet. The combination relies on dairy protein chemistry that determines how the caramel sets and how the cream maintains its texture at room temperature.
Cow Tales extend the same concept into a stick format — a cylinder of caramel wrapped around an extruded cream center. The novelty of seeing the cream visible at the cut end of the stick became an iconic product visual. The caramel apple and brownie cream flavors in the Cow Tales line use the same base caramel with flavored cream fillings, extending the format without changing the fundamental product architecture.
American Candy Heritage
Goetze's occupies a specific place in American candy heritage as one of the few surviving family-owned candy companies that has maintained domestic production, original recipes, and family ownership across more than a century. The candy industry consolidation of the late twentieth century absorbed most of its peers into multinational conglomerates that subsequently moved production overseas and reformulated products to reduce costs.
Goetze's resisted that trajectory. The Baltimore factory continues to produce Caramel Creams and Cow Tales using the same equipment configurations and formulations that define the products' character. For consumers who remember Cow Tales from childhood, the product purchased today is genuinely the same product — not a reformulated version manufactured at scale in an overseas facility.
