Earlier this week, the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed that Cellato set a new record for the World’s Most Expensive Ice Cream.Costs over $6,600 per serving.
The ice cream, called “Byakuya,” is a combination of white truffles imported from Alba, Italy; Parmigiano Reggiano cheese; and sake lees, a byproduct of the sake production process. The resulting frozen dessert costs an absolutely eye-watering ¥873,400 ($6,696) for a single 130 mL (4.4 ounce) serving.
The gelato features white truffles, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and gold leaf (of course).
Most expensive ice cream -cost JP¥873,400 (£5,469; €6,211; $6,696) made by OMER in Japan. The ice cream includes edible gold leaf, white truffle and natural cheeses.
A rich and mellow gelato with two types of cheese as a base and white truffle with a sensual and unique scent,” Cellato writes of the ice cream. “The faint sweetness and gorgeous ginjo incense give the scent of white truffles a complex flavor. To finish, white truffles and Parmigiano cheese that look like snow are luxuriously placed and decorated with gold leaf.”
Why is it so expensive?
Mostly because of those truffles, which can cost almost $15,200 per kilogram. The ice cream is packaged with white truffle oil, along with a special handmade metal spoon that has been crafted out of the same materials featured in some of Kyoto’s temples and shrines.
