What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly value the Picanto mills for their exceptional design and aesthetic appeal. Reviewers consistently praise the sculptural form and substantial weight, noting the flawless finish and high end materials meet luxury expectations.

While the grinding mechanism performs reliably, core satisfaction centers on owning such distinctive, high quality objects.

Know before you buy
These mills are hand-carved from European oak. The set features two distinct finishes: a natural oak and a smoked oak, each housing a high-quality metal and ceramic grinding mechanism.
No, these mills are not dishwasher safe. Because they are crafted from natural wood, you should clean them by wiping the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and avoid submerging them in water.
The mills are designed with different dimensions and finishes to help you tell them apart. The salt mill measures 7.28 inches, while the pepper mill is slightly larger at 8.27 inches.
While they are specifically designed for salt and pepper, the high-quality grinding mechanism is capable of handling standard peppercorns and coarse salt crystals. We do not recommend using them for oily or damp spices, as this may damage the wood or the internal mechanism.
The mills feature a manual operation design. You can refill them by removing the top or base section—depending on the specific model configuration—to access the internal spice chamber.
