Why is Wagyu Beef so expensive?
Wagyu cattle are fed for twice as long as regular cattle, which means these animals are more expensive to rear. Whereas regular cattle are fed for approximately 18 months, Wagyu cattle typically feed for around three years. This is because it takes around 28 to 36 months for Wagyu cattle to develop that intense marbling in their muscles.
Why is Black Truffle so expensive?
Black truffles are expensive because they are rare, difficult to grow, and have a short shelf life. Truffles are the fruit of a fungus that grow underground, making them difficult to find. Truffles are seasonal, with most being harvested in the fall and winter, mostly being found in woodlands near oak trees.
