Hot-air balloons have been around for centuries. They're certified aircraft for those looking to take the slow and scenic route, but owning one can set you back considerably — 30,000 euros for a smaller balloon, and 150,000 euros for a larger one.

At Ultramagic Balloons, half the cost is attributed to the balloon itself, known as the envelope. It can take two months to complete a safe, quality envelope. And that's just the tip of the quality-control iceberg.

Colatura di alici, which is Italian for "anchovy drippings," is a traditional sauce produced by fermenting salted anchovies inside small chestnut barrels. It's prized for its umami flavor and very expensive, selling for $160 a liter.

Here at Nettuno, third-generation producer Giulio Giordano ages his anchovy sauce for three years to make sure it's the perfect color and flavor. But how exactly is this sauce made? And why is it so expensive?
