Handmade Olive Wood Burl Mortar and Pestle with Separate Base | Premium Spice Herb Garlic & Pepper Grinder | Rare Natural Grain | 10–16 cm

The finest mortar and pestle we make.

This is our most premium mortar and pestle —carved entirely from solid Mediterranean olive wood featuring a rare and dramatic burl grain that makes every single mortar completely one-of-a-kind. The deep cylindrical mortar sits on a separate turned wooden base that elevates it beautifully, protects your worktop and adds a level of refinement you simply won't find in any standard set. The long elegant pestle with its flared grip top gives you outstanding control and leverage for every grind. The wild burl grain — explosive dark knot formations, amber rivers and deep raw bark inclusions — is the rarest pattern in our entire olive wood collection.
