Most Expensive Chocolates in the World
The chocolates are made from cocoa beans that are roasted, split, and sifted into these sweet delicacies. Cocoa beans have an intense bitter taste, which is why they are mainly used to sweeten pralines. Chocolates are known to be stress-relieving, relaxing, and aphrodisiac, as they increase serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain. So if you feel happy and in love after eating chocolates, then it is technically true love! That one true love who will never hurt you and will never leave you. In case you run out of it, just buy a new bar!
It’s been centuries since the ancient Mayans used dried cocoa leaves as currency, but you can still consume pounds of chocolate which is worth every penny. The most expensive chocolates in the world range from 100 pounds of chocolate eggs to glass-studded squares. When referring to some of the best chocolates in the world, the words “rich” and “decadent” are appropriate, and not just when it comes to taste. While a 20rs chocolate from a random company of chocolate industry in India, is undoubtedly spot on, nothing beats the absolute cream of the crop found when the price is unlimited.
Let us read about the world’s costliest Chocolates!
- Cadbury Wispa Gold Chocolate Bar
Price: $1,600 for one bar
In 1995, the famous chocolate company Cadbury decided to relaunch Wispa Gold Bar. To promote the event, they created a special Wispa gold bar worth $1,600. It was made from high-quality Madagascar cocoa beans and wrapped in edible gold leaf.
The one-of-a-kind gift went up for auction, but the winner never showed up to claim his prize, so the bar returned to Cadbury. Today it is on display at the Cadbury World Chocolate Museum, while cheaper versions of the bar can be found in retail stores around the world.
- Art Series Guayasamin by To’ak
$450 per 50 grams
Ecuadorian To`ak chocolatiers prefer that people refer to their Premium Art Series Blend as the “most valuable” rather than the “most expensive” chocolate, but at $ 450 for 50 grams, both terms seem to apply!
This chocolate is not made overnight, that’s for sure. The rare cocoa beans mature for three years in a French oak cognac box. The end result is Ecuadorian dark chocolate with 77 cocoa beans. Chocolate takes up to six weeks to arrive from the moment it’s ordered, but that mix is well worth it.
- Debauve and Gallais Le Livre
Price: $283 for 36 pieces
The famous French chocolatiers Debauva and Gallais, founded in 1800, have set themselves the goal of creating a masterpiece on the occasion of their company’s 200th anniversary. The result is Le Livre, a box of 35 chocolates and artisan ganaches with a cocoa content of up to 99%.
Enjoy a piece of history too. Sulpice Debauve opened his chocolate shop at the request of Marie Antoinette. For many years it was the sole supplier of chocolate to the entire royal family.
