UPI – A Japanese ice cream company assembled some of the world’s rarest ingredients to create an ice cream flavour that costs USD6,696 per serving.
Guinness World Records announced Japanese brand Cellato earned the record for the world’s most expensive ice cream with its new flavour, dubbed Byakuya.
The pricey treat’s ingredients include a rare white truffle grown in Alba, Italy, that costs about USD6,905 per pound. It also includes Parmigiano Reggiano and sake lees.
Cellato developed the flavour with Tadayoshi Yamada, the head chef at Osaka restaurant RiVi. The company said it sought to combine European and Japanese flavours into something unique.
“It took us over 1.5 years to develop, with 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.
