The most expensive foods in the world
Most people haven’t even heart about these foods, which are the most expensive in the world. A meal at a restaurant is far more cheap than these products. The price of these foods results from the level of difficulty in cooking them, mostly.
Iberian dried ham
Iberian dried ham, also known as Jambon Iberico, is the most expensive ham on the planet and it’s made in Spain. Every food lover would like to have some of it in his plate, but not anyone can afford it, since it’s 392 dollars a kilo.
Japanese Wagyu stake
This delicacy is considered one of the most tasty foods in the entire world. The steak is cooked in Japan and it has a special taste because of the texture of the butter used in the preparation process. This stake can be bought at 450 dollars per kilo.
Moose cheese
Moose cheese is made at the Moose House farm in Sweden, and it’s the most expensive cheese in the world, at the price of 1.074 dollars/kilo.
Saffron
This may not be a food, but it’s certainly used in the most sophisticated recipes. Saffron is a spice that costs between 100 and 400 dollars, and it’s so expensive because it can only be collected by hand, in a specific time of the year. It’s the most expensive spice and one kilo is the equal of 300.000 flowers.
Matsutake mushrooms
These mushrooms are considered some of the most rare foods in the world, and if you find them in a store, they shouldn’t cost less than 600 dollars per kilo. You can usually find them in Japan, but they can also be bought in Asian countries.
Kopi Luwak coffee
This coffee is really popular in Indonesia, Phillippines and South India, being the most expensive coffee in the world, at the price of 1.200 dollars a kilo. The Kopi Luwak coffee is obtained by being ingested by an animal, and then expelled through excrement.
Albino caviar
And now, the most expensive food in the world: albino caviar. It costs 9.100 dollars per kilo, and it’s made out of sturgeon roe, a fish than can usually be found in the Caspian Sea.
In my opinion, these are foods that you should try at least once in a lifetime. What do you think, would you be willing to spend so much money on food?
I wouldn't want to try any of those . . . probably because they are too expensive. Thanks for giving us a clue about these foods.
Hmm! Learning everyday.
Thanks @jwolf
I can't spend that much on food because i'm not a foodie.. Thanks for sharing the info
It seems so good, what is your favorite food ..?
@jwolf you realy shared informative, interesting and knowledgeable informations. i am really amazed to know about "most Expensive food in world." Thanks friend.
how many of these have you tried? I think the only one I would want to try on my own dime is the cat poop coffee :) Ive tried the steak and the ham through a prior job with a food magazine. Delicious, but probably not worth the money unless you've got ridiculous amounts of it.
I would not be willing to spend that much for food to try once personally. One other super expensive food is birds nest soup. From Wikipedia - "A kilogram of white nest can cost up to US$2,000, and a kilogram of red nests can cost up to US$10,000" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_bird%27s_nest
As a beef eater, it is my dream to eat Japanese wagyu beef, due to the reason that I’ve heard stories about its fat so juicy and melting😂.
But here’s one thing I don’t understand, why does adding gold to food or dishes suddenly make it expensive? I’ve never understood the logic behind that, I mean in New York I’ve seen the most expensive pizza but it wasn’t any different in taste, just that it had edible food sprinkled all over it, LOL.
Saffron has its own elegance and touch one of the most valuable and precious things on earth
