In taste, genres are broken, we all know that, everyone has their preference for one flavor or another. However, there are some agreements among chefs, foodies, and experts on which products are among the richest on the face of the earth. It may be due to their luxury status, freshness, or rarity, but here are certain ingredients that chefs appreciate more and prefer to eat.
Black Truffle
The price of this ingredient varies based on its weight and origin but hovers around 10,000 pesos per kilo. Perhaps it's because they are very difficult to find and trained dogs are needed, or their flavor which many believe has addictive elements. The point is that chefs love to cook with this European product, including René Redzepi.

Scallops
They call it the pearl of the ocean because this mollusk with a delicate flavor and silky texture is favored by chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Mikel Alonso. Like truffles, it is a difficult ingredient to harvest, making it quite expensive, but it offers an elegant taste.

Also known as toro, this is the type of tuna used by Japanese sushi masters like Jiro Ono. It is a fish with a more delicate flavor and a higher fat content than regular tuna. This gives it a very luxurious taste that envelops the palate.
