Know before you buy
Marble is a natural stone and can be slightly porous. To prevent flavor transfer, we recommend seasoning the mortar before its first use by grinding a small amount of white rice into a fine powder, discarding it, and repeating until the powder remains clean.
Hand wash the marble mortar and pestle with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. The acacia wood base should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and should never be submerged in water or placed in the dishwasher.
Yes, the base is designed to provide a stable foundation for the mortar. Its weight and construction help minimize movement on your countertop during the grinding process.
Absolutely. The durable marble construction is well-suited for crushing dry spices and herbs, as well as emulsifying wet ingredients like garlic, ginger, or fresh pastes.
The interior of the mortar is left with a slightly textured, unpolished finish. This intentional design provides the necessary friction to effectively grind and pulverize ingredients.
