Whether it's basil pesto, curry paste, or guacamole - this stone mortar allows you to prepare delicious sauces and dips at home. By crushing spices and herbs, flavours are gently extracted, resulting in a more intense taste. The unpolished interior of the kitchen mortar and the tip of the pestle guarantee an efficient grinding process. The granite spice mortar remains stable on the worktop during use, thanks to its substantial weight and wooden base. Note: Granite is a natural product. As such, the mortar may vary in grain size, colour, and texture, and may differ slightly from product images. Rinse with water before first use and, if desired, grind coarse salt to eliminate any production debris .
