Cheese made with gold costs £60 a slice


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.
The cheese will be sold in limited supply during the run-up to Christmas.
Meanwhile, a Serbian cheese maker claims to sell the most expensive cheese in the world with its Pule, a cheese made with the milk of Balkan donkeys, at €1,000 a kilo.
The World Cheese Awards take place November 23 at the BBC Good Food Show.



Hip-hop theme for next Missoni collaboration?


Rapper Drake has a penchant for sweaters made by the Italian fashion house and harbors ambitions to be part of Missoni‘s next capsule line.
The musician revealed his interest in a partnership with the label during an interview for the December issue of GQ.
“Hopefully Missoni hollers at me and we get a sweater line popping,” he told the publication, when discussing his frequent appearances in Missoni jumpers.

Missoni has been open to mass market collaborations in the past, notably with its line for US department store Target back in September.

At the time US department store Macy’s was mentioned as a possibility, although perhaps Drake’s comments will spark interest.
