It is the traditional calabash mate from Mimate 100% natural made directly in Argentina! This handmade calabash is a natural container. Traditionally, it is with her that we sip mate. It is one of the most popular accessories in Latin America! On this model, the craftsmen have added a metal finish to prevent overflow. The calabash is in fact a local fruit that, once dried, becomes a gourd. It is then engraved with our “Mimaté” logo by hand by Argentine artisans. Each fruit is unique, so is the gourd that is made by hand in each of them. Therefore, the calabash you receive may be slightly different from the one shown in the photo. It is the essential accessory for all lovers of mate and its preparation! Being made from a squash, this traditional gourd will have to be cured before its first use: explanatory guide delivered with the calabash.
