In the article, we present to you a purely objective list of the 10 most expensive foods in the world. How many have you tried?
That is 10 most expensive foods in the world. Have you tried any of them? Was it worth it?
Moose cheese
One of the most expensive cheeses in the world is produced from moose milk. It is produced in only one place in the world, the Moose House farm in Sweden. One kilogram of this cheese costs about €1,000.00.
Ibérico prosciutto
This special prosciutto is produced in Spain and is considered one of the best cured meats in the world. You will pay around €370.00 per kilogram.
Japanese Wagyu steaks
Wagyu steaks are made from Japanese beef and are considered the most expensive steaks in the world. They are known for their delicate, buttery texture. The price per kilogram is around €400.00.
Black Chicken Ayam Cemani
Ayam Cemani is a chicken grown in Indonesia. There, one such chicken costs about €150.00, but abroad the price skyrockets.
White truffles
The high price of truffles is a reflection of the complicated conditions that must be met for the truffles to ripen. In Europe, the price of a kilo of white truffles is around €2,000.00.
Saffron
The price of this refined spice varies between €300.00 and €900.00 per kilogram. Saffron blooms only a few days a year, and it has to be picked by hand. About 300,000 flowers need to be collected for a kilogram of saffron!
Swallow's nest soup
A swallow's nest is almost entirely made of their saliva. Recently, the soup from their nest has become a big hit in Chinese cuisine. Collecting swallow nests is a rather dangerous activity, as these birds mostly build them on cliffs and similar hard-to-reach places. The price for a kilogram of soup is around €3,000.00.
Albino caviar
One kilogram of albino setter fish roe costs approximately €8,500.00. The price is so high because these fish spawn very, very rarely.
Kopi Luwak coffee
Kopi Luwak coffee is produced in the Philippines and is considered the most expensive coffee in the world. You will have to shell out around €500.00 per kilogram.
Matsutake mushrooms
Japanese matsutake mushrooms are so rare that one kilogram costs around €500.00. The price will probably continue to rise in the future, as it is impossible to grow these mushrooms in artificial conditions, and the natural habitat is becoming less and less favorable to them.
