We all love eating good food. We can choose among a huge variety, they have different origins, tastes,shapes and prices. In this post I’m going to list some of the most expensive foods in the world. Remember, if you want to taste them, you may not like them, because they are not for everyone.
Number 5: Jamòn Ibèrico AKA PATA NEGRA
The first
food in this list is a particular type of ham, it is from Spain and it is dark
pig meat, it can cost 4,500$ per kilogram. These pigs follow a specific diet,
they eat nearly only acorns and this makes the meat very tasty. Before it is
sold, it gets matured for 3 years. In 2020 it was sold for 14,000$
Number4: White Truffle of Alba
It can cost 2,500$ per kilogram, it is from Piemonte and it can be found only in wild nature. In the 2007 1.5 kilograms of this special type of truffle was sold for 350,000$.
Number 3: Swallow Nest Soup
It costs
nearly 80$ per bowl. Many people say it has medical propriety. This dish is
made boiling a swallow nest which is made up of
the saliva of the bird, grass, feathers and kelps; the price is so high because
the bird builds its nest on picks in caves.
Number 2: Caviar of Beluga
These
microscopic fish eggs can cost till 9,700$ per kilogram. It is from albino
sturgeon which is very rare. It makes eggs only every 100 years. A lot of
environmentalists asked to stop the production of this food, because the
sturgeon is on the verge of extinction.
Number 1: Edible Gold AKA Food Gold
As you can
imagine, this is simply edible 24 karates
gold. It does not have much taste and flavour, however it costs 30,000$ per kilogram.
Gualtiero Marchesi is the one who made this food so
famous, specifically with his golden risotto. As I said before, gold has not got particular nutrients or taste,
but it is appreciated by rich people, as a symbol of luxury.
Which of these edible luxuries would you like to try, if any? Tell us in the comment section and … see you next month!
