The on-line journal “The Richest” made a list of the foods and dishes most expensive of the world!!
Let’s have a look of them…and unfortunately we can have only a look and not a taste, but never say never:
10) MATTAKE MUSHROOMS – $ 1,000
Mattake mushrooms are not easy to find and they grow expecially in the woods of Japan, Korea, North America. This kind of mushrooms is largely used in Japanese medicine.They costs raughly 1.230 € for a kilo!!
9) BAGEL – $ 1,000
All of you know how Bagels are and, generally, they are not expensive but… the Special Westin Hotel Bagel, created by the Chef of this Hotel, is very very expensive!! They include some truffle cream and a jelly with… GOLD leaves!! About 1.230 € for one Bagel!!

7) WAGYU BEEF STEAK – $ 2,800
Kobe variety of this beef comes from Japan… (incredibly lots of the most expensive food come from Japan). It is said that animals are massaged to garantee tenderness and they are fed with beer. Almost 3.400 € only for one steak!!!
6) BOMBAY BRASSERIE’S SAMUNDARI KHAZANA CURRY – $ 3,200

4) DENSUKE BALCK WATERMELON – $ 6,100

2) ALMAS CAVIAR – $ 25,000
You know, caviar is one of the most expensive items in the world and it is not for everyone but this is surely the most expensive! Almas caviar is sold in a gold box in the Caviar House & Prunier lacated in Piccadilly in London for about 30, 30,650 €!!!
1) ITALIAN WHITE ALBA TRUFFLE – $ 160,406
This is a honour for Italy and all Italian people (and so, also for me) to affirm that at the top of this rank we have the Italian white Alba truffle!!! Its high price is due to the difficulty of its cultivation and once a retail investor bought a huge white alba truffle of 1,51 kilograms for 196,150 €!!!
But in this TOP 10, two items are missing:
SAFFRON – 10,000 €
One kilo of this spice can cost from 1,000 to 10,000 euros.
“SUPERNARIWA” WATER – 7,500 €
“SuperNariwa” water is the most expensive one and it comes from Japan! 99.95 dollars for a 10 ml bottle and 7,500 € FOR A 1 L BOTTLE.
