Story: Spices crushed fresh smell brighter than the same ones shaken from a jar. This mortar and pestle is carved from olive wood, weighty and sure in the hand, the honey-toned grain running its own way through every piece. Peppercorns cracked for a marinade, cumin and coriander ground just before the pan, a clove of garlic worked to paste for a dressing. Olive wood is naturally antibacterial and hard enough to take years of grinding. Kitchens have held a mortar and pestle for thousands of years, and this one stands on the counter with that same ease, at home before it is ever used. The wood only deepens in color over time, and it will outlast the gadgets built to do its job faster, handed on long after they are forgotten. Dimensions: Diameter 5.5" | 13.9cmDue to the handcrafted nature, slight variation will occur in design, color, and size. Impact: Care Instructions: Hand wash with water and gentle soap. Please avoid the dishwasher. We recommend using Cove Home Organic Brass & Wood Balm to give your wooden pieces some extra love.
