The most expensive ice cream in the world costs more than 6000 euros. This has now been confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records and thus crowned the noble combination of tastes.
Tokyo/Rome - Summer is gradually arriving in this country as well. In warm temperatures, of course, the scoop of ice cream should not be missing to round off a hot day in the sun or a balmy summer evening. You currently have to dig quite deep into your pocket for the scoop of ice cream: According to ZDF, the average in Germany in 2021 was 1.46 euros per scoop. But whether it has to be more than 6000 euros per serving?
More than 6000 euros per serving: The most expensive ice cream in the world has been crowned
Because the Japanese ice cream brand Cellato calls for this proud price for its ice cream creation: The cold treat costs just under 6200 euros. An expensive pleasure - so expensive that you have now won a prize for it. Cellato is now in the Guinness Book of World Records for "The most expensive ice cream in the world". This was announced by the company in May.
For comparison: For this sum you would also get a chic family holiday with a lot of Italian standard gelatos or even a used car.
Of course, this costly seduction also has its own name: Byakuya.
The most expensive ice cream in the world: what's in it
The reason for the extremely high price is the expensive ingredients used for the ice cream. For example, the noble white Alba truffle from the city of the same name in Piedmont in northern Italy. This alone costs just under 14,000 euros per kilo. Other highlights: Parmigiano Reggiano and sake yeast. Of course, a little gold leaf should not be missing as a garnish.
"It took over 1.5 years to develop, with a lot of trial and error to get the right taste. Obtaining a Guinness World Record title was worth all the effort," a Cellato representative is quoted as saying by the Guinness Book of World Records.
From the very beginning, the aim was to combine Italian and Japanese ingredients in the form of ice cream. That's why they even hired the Japanese chef Tadayoshi Yamada, known for his imaginative fusion cuisine. However, Twitter users are rather skeptical about this extraordinary creation. Under the post you can read comments such as: "Will this ice cream give me a long life and prosperity?", "Completely unnecessary and an extreme pleasure" or "Does it make you immortal?". One finds words particularly clearly. He considers the 6000-euro ice cream to be "madness, absolute madness".
