Mortar | granite, small

Ancient and sturdy: whether it’s a ras el hanout spice blend, ground almonds, or herb pesto, the granite mortars make it easy to grind ingredients to the desired consistency.

Their considerable weight and the rough surface of the grinding bowls make it easier to grind and crush ingredients. By contrast, the vessel’s exterior and the pestle handle are polished to a glossy, smooth finish: the composition of this exceptionally hard rock, made up of feldspar, quartz, and mica, shines through in the smooth surface.
