This is a classic olive wood mortar and pestle, that is 6cm (2.36") in diameter, handmade with a robust design. The mortar has a cylindrical shape with a rounded interior for grinding and mixing ingredients. The pestle, designed to fit comfortably in the hand, is shaped for efficient pounding and grinding. Olive wood's durability makes it ideal for the rigorous action of mashing and its natural oil content adds to its resistance to moisture and odors. The smooth finish and the wood’s striking grain patterns make it a useful kitchen tool and an attractive piece. Its sturdy form with cylindrical edges enhances stability during use. • 100% olive wood. • Never Use the dishwasher.
