The Japanese company Cellato has managed to create the most expensive ice cream in the world, thus obtaining a place in the Guinness Book of Records. This delicacy, called Byakuya, is priced at 873,400 Japanese yen, equivalent to about 6,300 dollars.
The high value of this ice cream is due to its unique composition. The dessert is made with ingredients such as Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, sake kasu paste (a by-product of sake production), and, most notably, white truffle and edible gold leaf.
A company representative stated that it took them more than a year and a half to develop this creation, with numerous trials and errors until the perfect flavor was achieved. The recognition in the Guinness World Record has been worth all their efforts.
In the future, Cellato plans to launch ice creams with other unusual combinations of ingredients, such as champagne and caviar, thus offering unique and exclusive gastronomic experiences.
This Cellato initiative demonstrates ingenuity and creativity in the culinary field, offering ice cream lovers the opportunity to sample exquisite and luxurious creations. Although the price may be high, for some customers, the experience of tasting a unique and ostentatious ice cream can be a luxury worth enjoying.
