The vendor seasoned the chopped avocados with olive oil, sesame seeds, a special masala, and a hint of lemon juice. However, the star ingredient that elevated the dish to luxury status was the elusive pule cheese.

The Role of Pule Cheese

The pule cheese as claimed by the vendor was imported directly from the Zasavica Special Nature Reserve in Serbia and is a rare delicacy made from a combination of 60% Balkan donkey milk and 40% goat's milk. This exclusive cheese comes with a hefty price tag of around ₹51,000 per half kilogram, making it one of the most expensive cheeses in the world. It takes a considerable amount of milk and a meticulous process to produce this limited quantity of cheese, adding to its allure and value.

Social Media Buzz

As news of this high-priced avocado toast spread across social media platforms, users expressed a mix of curiosity and disbelief. Some questioned the necessity of turning a healthy ingredient like avocado into an exorbitant indulgence, while others simply shrugged off the idea, claiming avocado was never their preferred choice.

A social media user remarked, “India- this is how we make a healthy meal into an unhealthy meal.”

Another commented, “Thank god I don’t like avocado.”
