Introducing the $170 Cheese Sandwich - Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston

Complete with sprinkles of gold dust, one sandwich may just be the most expensive in the world.

British chef Martin Blunos unveiled his creation at the Frome Cheese Show in Somerset, England, last week, reported The Daily Mail. It features a cheddar cheese that is blended with white truffles; black heirloom tomatoes; fresh figs; red amaranth; and slices of quail egg. The sandwich is built with three slices of sourdough bread.

The sandwich is topped off with a sprinkle of gold dust.

"The gold leaf doesn't taste of anything, but it's a sort of cleanser," Blunos said to the BBC. "It cleanses the body."

The sandwich costs about 111 British pounds or $170. The high cost isn't the edible gold, though. It's the white truffle cheese, which costs 92 pounds or about $141 to make, according to The Guardian.

Blunos and cheesemaker Pilgrims Choice are seeking to have the sandwich recognized as the world's most expensive cheese sandwich by Guinness World Records.
