Natural Olive Wood Mortar & Pestle

Description

Bring traditional food preparation into your kitchen with a handcrafted olive wood mortar and pestle. Made from beautiful natural olive wood, each piece displays distinctive grain patterns, warm golden tones and individual character created by the wood itself.
The solid wooden mortar and pestle is ideal for crushing and grinding herbs, spices, peppercorns, garlic and other ingredients. Olive wood is naturally dense and hard-wearing, making it particularly well suited to everyday kitchen utensils.

Handcrafted Natural Olive Wood

Every mortar and pestle is individually shaped from natural olive wood. No two pieces will have exactly the same grain, colouring or markings, giving you a genuinely unique kitchen accessory rather than a mass-produced identical item.
The smooth pestle sits comfortably in the hand, while the substantial mortar provides a practical bowl for grinding and combining ingredients.

Five Sizes to Choose From

Our natural olive wood mortar and pestle is available in five mortar diameters:

• 8 cm diameter
• 10 cm diameter
• 12 cm diameter
• 14 cm diameter
• 16 cm diameter

Simply select your preferred diameter from the options above. The different sizes make it easy to choose a mortar and pestle for anything from smaller quantities of herbs and spices to larger everyday food-preparation tasks.

What Can You Use an Olive Wood Mortar and Pestle For?

An olive wood mortar and pestle can be used to crush and grind dried herbs, whole spices, peppercorns, garlic and seasonings, as well as to combine ingredients for homemade spice blends, marinades and dressings.

Is Olive Wood Good for a Mortar and Pestle?

Yes. Olive wood is a dense, durable hardwood with a naturally beautiful grain, making it an excellent material for traditional kitchen utensils. With appropriate care, an olive wood mortar and pestle can provide many years of use while developing its own individual character.

How Do You Care for an Olive Wood Mortar and Pestle?

Wash by hand using warm water and mild washing-up liquid, then dry promptly. Do not soak the wood or place it in a dishwasher. An occasional application of food-safe mineral oil can help nourish the olive wood and maintain its natural appearance.

A Unique Olive Wood Gift

With its striking natural grain and practical everyday use, an olive wood mortar and pestle makes a thoughtful gift for keen cooks, food lovers, new homeowners and anyone who appreciates traditional wooden kitchenware.
As olive wood is a natural material, grain pattern, shape and colouring will vary slightly from the photographs. These variations are part of the character of genuine olive wood and mean that every piece is unique.
