As the heat subsides and cool breezes blow in autumn, chocolate is gaining popularity. Recently, the benefits of polyphenols, flavanols, and catechins contained in cacao have been revealed, receiving positive responses.


Lotte Confectionery announced on the 8th that as chocolate has established itself as a 'well-being' preferred food, Lotte Confectionery's chocolate product 'Dream Cacao,' which highlights its polyphenol content, is attracting attention. Dream Cacao was launched in 2006 with the slogan 'Chocolate of Dreams' and has been loved by consumers for its high cacao content to this day.


The secret to Dream Cacao's popularity lies in its unique chocolate flavor, slightly bitter taste, as well as its high cacao content and polyphenol components. Dream Cacao draws consumers' attention by prominently emphasizing the polyphenol content while maintaining the cacao content display, which is a key design element. The Dream Cacao 56% product contains 900 mg of polyphenols per bar, the 72% product contains 1,220 mg per bar, and the 82% product contains 1,420 mg per bar. The amount of polyphenols in one bar of Dream Cacao 82% (1,420 mg) is about nine times more than in 100g of blueberries.



Lotte Confectionery stated, "The secret to Dream Cacao's longevity lies not only in the unique taste and flavor of chocolate but also in its high cacao content and polyphenol components." They added, "Polyphenols have antioxidant effects and are related to cancer prevention, anti-aging, cavity suppression, and arteriosclerosis prevention, attracting the attention of consumers who are highly interested in health."
