A Japanese ice cream company has set the bar by taking some of the rarest and most luxe ingredients to make the world’s most expensive ice cream.
For $6,696 a scoop, you can try out the expensive Japanese brand Cellato.
The Guinness World Records confirmed the company’s record-breaking price with its “Byakuya” flavor ice cream, which is made from white truffle grown in Alba, Italy.
The truffle itself comes at an expensive price, about $6,905 per pound.
The exclusive dessert also includes Parmigiano Reggiano and sake lees, a popular by-product of Japanese sake production that consists of 8% alcohol, the New York Post reported.
Cellato partnered with Tadayoshi Yamada, the head chef at the restaurant RiVi, to combine European and Japanese flavors for unique flavored ice cream. And it wasn’t a walk in the park. Apparently, it took the two a year and a half before the flavor was just right.
A spokesperson for Cellato said there were “a lot of trials and errors to get the taste right.”
“Achieving a Guinness World Records title made the effort all worth it,” a Cellato representative told Guinness World Records.
Customers can expect Cellato to release more products with other combinations of luxury ingredients, such as Champagne and caviar.
