Know before you buy
The Aster salt mill features an adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism. You can change the grind size by tightening or loosening the stainless steel finial at the top to achieve your preferred texture.
Yes, the natural-finished acacia wood is food-safe. Because it is a natural material, we recommend keeping it away from excessive moisture and cleaning it only with a damp cloth.
This specific model is designed for salt and features an 'S' on the finial. Crate & Barrel offers a matching pepper grinder with a 'P' finial if you prefer a coordinated set for your table.
To maintain the quality of the acacia wood, the mill should be hand washed only. Avoid submerging it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack.
The Aster salt mill has a capacity of 3.25 ounces, which is a standard size for tabletop use that balances a sculptural aesthetic with functional volume.
