1. Iberico Ham
Iberico Ham, also known as jamón ibérico, is a type of salt-cured and smoked ham primarily produced in Spain and some regions of Portugal, where it is called presunto ibérico. Iberico Ham is the most expensive pork product in the world. To enjoy a slice of Iberico ham, you would need to spend around $4,500 (over 100 million VND).
The high price of Iberico Ham is due to its rarity. Not only is the Iberian black pig rare, but the production of the ham is also extremely meticulous. This breed of pig is highly regarded for its fine-textured and nutritious meat, along with its delicious flavor. Despite its unassuming appearance, you can only enjoy this expensive ham in upscale restaurants.
2. Ayam Cemani Chicken
Chicken meat is a popular type of meat, versatile in various dishes and relatively more affordable compared to beef. However, there is a type of chicken in the world that commands an astonishingly high price, the Ayam Cemani Chicken. Ayam Cemani meat is known as the most expensive chicken meat sold globally, originating from Indonesia. The price of this black chicken is around $2500 (over 56 million VND) per chicken.
The standout feature of this breed is its high-quality, firm, flavorful, and nutritious meat, particularly rich in iron, making it beneficial for women before and after childbirth. Moreover, Ayam Cemani chickens are currently rare as there are only a few breeders, estimated to be limited to a few places nationwide with restricted numbers. Therefore, not everyone can enjoy the nutritious dishes made from this special black chicken, and not everyone is willing to spend over 56 million VND to experience it.
3. Wagyu Beef
Wagyu Beef is undoubtedly one of the most expensive meats globally. For food enthusiasts, the deliciousness and hefty price tag of this beef from Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, are well-known. The high price of Wagyu Beef is attributed to its high nutritional content, including beneficial omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
Sold at around $300 (nearly 7 million VND) for 450g, Wagyu Beef is meticulously raised under special conditions to achieve its exquisite marbling. Their diet, from calfhood to adulthood, consists of various grains and grasses, both fresh and dry. Specifically, Wagyu calves aged 2-3 months have a specialized diet.
4. Polmard Family Beef
Polmard Family Beef is priced from $2000 - $4000 (from 45 million to 90 million VND) for 450g of ribs and is classified as one of the most expensive steaks sold globally. This type of beef is not readily available due to the challenging rearing process. Additionally, only the Polmard family supplies this product worldwide.
The Polmard family farm is located in the small town of Saint Mihiel in Lorraine, northeastern France. They strive to create the most comfortable environment for their cattle to grow, allowing them to roam freely outdoors and interact with the owners. Each week, the Polmard farm only slaughters 4 cows, then ages the meat for up to ten years, making Polmard Family Beef extremely rare and expensive.
5. Kobe Beef
To be considered Kobe beef, cattle must be raised and slaughtered in Japan. If black-haired cattle from Kobe are raised in other countries, even if the same livestock farming techniques are used, the meat, while of equivalent quality, will be called Wagyu beef. Kobe Beef is the renowned beef type with a top-tier price worldwide that Mytour wants to inform you about.
These Kobe cattle are specially cared for to produce tender meat with a visually stunning marbled texture resembling beautiful camphor patterns. To enjoy this beef, you'll need to pay $850 (over 19 million VND) for 450g of meat. The high price of Kobe Beef is due to its rarity, limited supply, high care costs, and unique deliciousness. Despite its high price, the extraordinary taste of Kobe beef when used in cooking cannot be denied.
