Sounds like you're after the 100 year aged cheddar. That was like $400 a pound and sold in quarter pound cuts when I last saw it. Realistically you can't really taste the difference between 10 year and 25 year aged cheddar, but it gets crumblier as it ages, so 100 year is great for bragging rights but ultimately for your average splashing on fancy cheese just go for 7-10 year aged

For a real splurge, you want a Ferrari made of 100-year-old cheddar

That has been my experience with most hyper-expensive food. Actually, all of it that I've tried.
