Imagine savouring the pinnacle of culinary luxury, one spoonful at a time. Cellato, a Japanese ice cream brand, is serving just that with Byakuya, the world’s most expensive ice cream, priced at a staggering €6200 per scoop also knows as the ‘Golden Scoop’.
This masterpiece, recognised by the Guinness World Records, is truly an edible extravagance.
The key to its grand price tag is the white Alba truffle, a rare ingredient that costs nearly €12,500 per kg. Accompanying this star are Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and sake lees, enhancing its unique, multifaceted flavour, all adorned with specks of edible gold leaf.
The taste?
A rich aromatic explosion of truffle, underpinned by the fruity complexity of the cheese, and a sake lees finish.
If that doesn’t whet your appetite, Cellato has other luxurious variants in the pipeline, featuring ingredients such as caviar. The epitome of indulgence awaits.
