Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerousAfter the most expensive honey in the world and coffee, it is the turn of luxury caviar. It is the albino caviar, a particular type of caviar made from white sturgeon eggs, which is now referred to as the most expensive food in the world. A real madness from the price of 40 thousand dollars a teaspoon. Its selling cost seems to exceed $ 300 per kilo.
It will be served in restaurants frequented by some of the richest personalities in the world. This is the creation of the Austrian Walter Gruell, who with his son produces albino caviar. This type of caviar is also called White Strottarga.
Il most expensive caviar in the world is derived from albino sturgeon, a very rare fish that would now be bred precisely for the production of this food by the rich. White sturgeon eggs are dehydrated and ground into powder.
Il albino whale from which this very expensive caviar was originally produced, it lived in the Caspian Sea but is now almost extinct in its natural habitat. Because? Simply in the name of man's desire to obtain a rare delicacy and to enrich himself with its sale.
In order to continue the production of albino caviar, Walter Gruell in Austria decided to devote himself tobreeding of the white sturgeon from which to obtain a caviar however very expensive. How is such a high price justified?
Here is madness in madness. The dehydrated and powdered caviar would come added 22 carat gold very finely ground. According to Gruell, gold introduced in small quantities into human nutrition has a positive effect on the immune system.

Gruell believes anyway that a luxury product of this type can find a market and is willing to sell it to discounted price of $ 112 per kilo. Will anyone really want to taste it?
