Knipschildt’s Madeleine, 106,301 INR (a pound)
Not many would believe that this humble looking ganache, is perhaps the costliest chocolate that man has ever made or tasted. Created by Fritz Knipschildt, every piece is made out of the freshest natural ingredient right from French Valrhona Chocolate, Vanilla pods and pure Italian Truffle Oil.
