An award-winning British cheese maker has created what’s being called the most expensive cheese in Britain with its Stilton Gold, a premium white Stilton made with edible gold leaf and gold-flecked cinnamon schnapps.

At £608 a kilo — Long Clawson’s Stilton Gold is bedecked in flecks of gold and is meant to be an extra luxurious addition to cheeseboards for the holiday season.

Chef Marc Guibert at Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in Windermere, Cumbria has created the world’s most expensive dessert.

It is made of exclusive ingredients like caviar and four different types of the finest Belgian chocolate flavoured with a combination of peach, orange and whiskey.

Styled like a Faberge Easter egg, it is layered with champagne jelly, a light biscuit joconde and glazed with edible gold leaf.

Restaurateur and Chef Jasper Mirabile Jr. has created the world’s most decadent, exclusive, delicious, but also expensive cannoli ever made.

If your mouth isn’t watering, as of yet, let me share with you the ingredients: The base is made of rich dark chocolate, a whipped ricotta cheese filing mixed with candied lemon, chocolate and lemon peel. All these wrapped in gold leaf.

Dated back to the Arab occupation of Sicily in the 9th century, Jasper’s secret weapon is his great-grandmother’s recipe. Priced at $26,010.

Businessman Angelito Araneta Jr, 21, commissioned his catering service to create a chocolate cake topped with 15 African diamonds and covered with 24-karat gold leaf.

A gold-leaf facial is the latest beauty craze among ladies of a certain age.

The Luxe 24 Karat Gold Facial uses the highest grade of gold leaf in an 80-minute procedure which costs $400. The flakes of gold leaf are laid on the face, before being massaged in.

UMO – the company behind the facial – claimed that the procedure will result in firmer, brighter and more supple skin.

The treatment’s use of the metal follows a strong historical tradition. It is said that Cleopatra slept in a gold mask every night, and Chinese empresses supposedly used gold rollers to massage their faces.
