Most expensive food in the world

Genuine caviar, especially the albino caviar or "white gold," comes from extremely rare albino sturgeons. These pigmentless sturgeons are found in only one out of 20,000 eggs, making their breeding incredibly complex. Annually, only about eight to twelve kilograms of white caviar are produced worldwide. The price ranges between 15,000 and 35,000 euros per kilogram, making it one of the most expensive foods in the world.

Gourmets appreciate white caviar for its explosive flavors in the mouth, characterized by fruity notes, a balanced sweet-sour ratio, nuances of corn, hay, the sea, and nutty-buttery undertones. This delicacy pairs exceptionally well with sushi, grilled fish, or asparagus.

Due to its rarity and labor-intensive production, white caviar is not easy to come by. Only a few breeders worldwide offer this niche product, including Grüll Fischhandel in Austria and caspianmonarque.com in Iran. For those fortunate enough to experience it, white caviar represents a very special privilege.
