Know before you buy
The unpolished interior provides the necessary friction to effectively crush and grind herbs, spices, and coffee beans. A smooth surface would make it difficult to break down ingredients efficiently.
This set is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately with a towel. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help prevent the wood from drying out and maintain its natural luster.
Olive wood is naturally dense and contains inherent oils that make it resistant to absorbing odors and bacteria. While strong spices may leave a faint scent, the material is generally non-porous enough to prevent flavor cross-contamination.
Because each piece is handcrafted from natural olive wood, the grain patterns and color variations will differ from set to set. You should expect your mortar and pestle to have a unique appearance that differs slightly from the images.
Yes, it is suitable for wet ingredients like garlic, ginger, or fresh herbs. Just ensure you clean and dry the set thoroughly after use to preserve the integrity of the wood.
