Know before you buy
Jatobá is an exceptionally dense and durable hardwood, which makes it ideal for a tool that faces constant impact. It resists cracking and absorbing liquids better than softer woods, ensuring your muddler stays hygienic and intact over years of use.
Yes, a one-piece design is significantly more durable than a muddler made from glued or joined parts. It eliminates weak points where the handle could snap or where bacteria could accumulate in seams.
Hand wash it with warm water and mild soap immediately after use, then dry it thoroughly. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
No, the natural wood finish is food-safe and non-reactive. It will not impart any unwanted flavors or chemicals into your drinks, allowing the true taste of your fresh ingredients to shine through.
While it is robust enough for muddling herbs and fruits, it is not designed as an ice crusher. Using it to aggressively break up large ice chunks may damage the wood or the finish over time.
