The Most Expensive Cheeses in

the World

Cheese is undeniably one of the best dairy products there is. Its milky, salty, tasty and its

goodness is something dairy lovers cannot resist. There are several types of cheeses. As youknow, cheese is made out of animals milk. It may be from a cow, goat, sheep, buffalo and

even froma donkey. Cheeses havea variety of flavors and textures too. There are kinds that

have molds or rind on them whilesome liquefy when exposed to cooking temperature.

Varieties of cheese may reach up to hundreds, for most countries have their own take and

version of it. How the cheese is made depends on a number of factors like where the milk is

from, if the milk went through pasteurization, as well as the processing used. Other cheeses

have a few additions, like herbs and spices. Cheese lasts longer than milk, although how

long a specific type of cheese will last depends on its type. In general, hard cheeses such as

cheddar, jack, edam, and gouda last longer than the soft ones such as the brie, feta, and

camembert.

Cheese-making is a laborious task. It requires a great amount of patience and strength as it

involves a lot of processes such as curdling, curd processing and ripening, which take place

not just for several days but even for months, or maybe even years. All the wait is worth it

when it suddenly sits on your plate. At cold temperatures, the fat in cheese hardens like

unsoftened butter and when placed in room temperatures, hard cheeses melt.

Meanwhile, there are both raves and rants when it comes to cheeses health benefits. It is

said that some cheeses may help lessen a persons chances of acquiring any heart-related

disease. Cheeses such as cheddar and mozzarella and a few others have been known to help

prevent decay of teeth. With tryptophan present in cheese, it is said to be a good stressreliever and sleep inducer. However, some types have been studied to have hypertensive

effects as well.

Now that we have gotten all those cheesy facts out of the way, let us now satisfy our

curiosity. With all the different types of cheese available, there are some that will definitely

stand out, some with how they taste and how they look like, but in this case, how much they

are worth. It is said that high price comes with high quality. So if you could afford it, why

not try these on your bagels or add them in your casseroles just to see what the fuss is

about. Usual comments basically revolve around how much it is priced and how it tastes

like. Well never really know unless we take a gulp, close our eyes and take it in, the hefty

price included. So without further ado, here is a list of the worlds most expensive cheeses.

Gorau Glas

Also known as the cows milk blue cheese, Gorau Glas is made especially at the Caws Gorau

Glas farm in Dwyran, Anglessy in the United Kingdom. You would have to purchase the

most expensive cheese in the UK from Margaret Davies for $40 per pound. It is said to be

priced as such because production involves the use of the familys dairy herd and extensive

labor. Popularity-wise, the Gorau Glas is up in the ladder as it has bagged numerous awards

all over the European continent.

Beaufort Dete




3/6

The most expensive cheese in New Yorks Murrays, a cheese haven, is the French

mountain cheese called Beaufort Dete, which sells for $44.99 per pound.

Bitto

A mash up of orbic goat and Swedish brown cows milk make up the Bitto, or more

commonly known as the formaggio italiano. Production of this kind of cheese has been

traditional, enabling farmers to be a part of this tradition. You better not wish that all Bittos

be gone in the morning, for it is not easy to make. It is said that this is the only cheese in the

world which requires ten long years to ripen. A pound of the Bitto costs $55.

Moose Cheese




4/6

The Moose House in Bjurholm, Sweden is known for its 59-acre moose dairy, where you

will have the pleasure to meet Gullan, Haelga, and Juna. The three are responsible for the

$500 per pound cheese, one of the most expensive in the world. The price probably has to

do with the production of the cheese as the three moose can only be milked between May

and September.

Caciocavallo Podolico

This is the most popular type of cheese in Italy. When translated, Caciocavallo Podolico

means horse cheese. The cheese is not derived from horse milk though, but because of a

story that dates back to the old days, the cheese was hung off the back of a horse to allow

curing while being transported. The cheese is very enticing to eat as it has a nice pear shape,

a shiny rind, and has a creamy filling inside. A pound of this cheese is worth $650.

Ass or Donkey Cheese




5/6

One of the most expensive cheeses in the world is the $700 per pound donkey cheese. This

cheese is made from 100% Balkan donkeys milk of the Nature Reserve Zasavica along the

Zasavica River. Twenty-five liters of milk is used to make a kilogram of cheese, thus the

hefty price. The cheese is, as some described, stinky but white and crumbly.

Gold Cheese or Stilton Cheese

For some time, gold has only been used to adorn ourselves with dazzling jewelry. This time,

some company made it possible for gold to be edible. Dubbed as the worlds most expensive

cheese, Foodies Cheese managed to whip up an intriguing cheese variety especially made

for the holiday season. It is called Stilton Cheese with real gold flakes. The gold is

completely edible, so patrons who are curious need not worry about grubbing the gold

down. The cheese is priced at $2064 per pound.
