And this is not caviar, cheese or sausages. Believe it or not, some products will really surprise you, because you can't tell about their value in appearance.
So let's start with the most unexpected on the list. Especially in the summer, when such an abundance is on the shelves.
And this...
Densuke Black Watermelon from Japan
Watermelon is like a watermelon. What is special about him?! Well, the rind is a little darker than usual. Just think and you will be right.
Why would the Japanese suddenly pay for a watermelon from $ 200 to $ 6,000? It turns out that the highlight of the watermelon is that it grows exclusively on the island of Hokkaido.
White truffle Piedmont or Alba
Oh, these gourmets! This one here... "underpots" cost up to 32,000 euros per piece. Really?!
In fact, it is a type of mushroom and can only be found in northern Italy, where it is harvested in the fall from October to December.
This product has a nutty, earthy flavor that resembles garlic or shallots. Truffles are eaten raw, served thinly sliced on top, sprinkled on pasta, risotto or fricassee. And yes, connoisseurs consider them a delicacy.
La bonnotte de Noirmoutier - potato variety
And this is definitely a potato. Yes, that's just not simple, but French. And it costs almost 500 euros per kilogram.
And no, it's not golden, and even without any super-nutritional or healing properties. La bonnotte de Noirmoutier is the most expensive potato in the world, invented by the French and grown on the island of Noirmoutier in strictly limited quantities.
Not more than 100 tons of potatoes can be "extracted" annually, since a truly valuable product requires special care, is collected by hand and is practically not stored. That is, they planted, raised, dug up and immediately to the table.
La bonnotte de Noirmoutier, thanks to the unique microclimate of the island of Noirmoutier and its sandy soil high in algae, this is a unique potato with an unusual sweet taste with hints of walnut.
You can taste this potato delicacy only in a select few restaurants.
Surprised that their prices are so huge? And this is how it happens.
