Description
Bring traditional food preparation back into the kitchen with this olive wood mortar and pestle, handcrafted from sustainably sourced Tunisian olive wood. At approximately 12 cm, it’s a practical size for crushing fresh herbs, spices, garlic, seeds and seasonings while preparing everyday meals.
Using a mortar and pestle allows you to crush ingredients rather than simply chop them, helping release the natural oils, aromas and flavours of herbs and spices. Use it for freshly cracked peppercorns, garlic and herb mixtures, spice blends, marinades, rubs and other homemade preparations.
Ideal for:
• Crushing fresh and dried herbs
• Grinding spices and peppercorns
• Crushing garlic and ginger
• Preparing seasoning blends
• Making marinades and rubs
• Crushing seeds and other small ingredients
Approximate size:
• Mortar diameter: 12 cm
The solid Tunisian olive wood gives the set a wonderfully substantial feel, while its swirling grain and warm natural colouring mean every mortar and pestle has its own individual appearance.
Care instructions:
• Hand wash with warm water and mild soap
• Do not soak
• Do not place in a dishwasher
• Occasionally treat with a suitable food-safe mineral oil
Personalisation available
Custom laser engraving can be added to create a thoughtful gift for keen cooks, new homeowners, weddings, birthdays and other special occasions.
Handcrafted by House of Olivewood, this is a traditional kitchen tool made from beautiful natural wood — designed to be used, enjoyed and kept within easy reach whenever you’re cooking.
