Handmade Olive Wood Square-Top Mortar and Pestle Set | Deep Herb Spice Garlic & Pesto Grinder | Unique Natural Grain | 8–16 cm

A mortar and pestle unlike any other — built for serious herb grinding.

Hand-carved from a single solid piece of Mediterranean olive wood, this distinctive square-rimmed mortar and pestle is the most generous and characterful grinding set in our collection. The bold squared-off rim gives the mortar an architectural presence on any worktop, while the deep interior bowl and heavy stable base make it the most practical grinding vessel you'll ever use. Ground dried herbs scatter and catch beautifully against the square rim — no mess, no waste. The long elegant pestle with its sculptured ball top gives you outstanding leverage for crushing, blending and grinding everything from fresh basil to whole black peppercorns. The extraordinary swirling grain — deep amber rivers, rich dark tones and natural knot markings — makes every single set completely one-of-a-kind.
