Olive wood mortar with pestle – Ø 12 cm, sanded

Pesto made in a mortar tastes different from pesto made in a blender. The leaves are crushed rather than chopped, and the oil slowly blends with the garlic and cheese. The olive wood mortar with a diameter of 12 cm is the perfect size for this, without half the ingredients jumping over the rim.

In addition to pesto, it is suitable for herb butter, curry pastes, gremolata, or a spice mix for your next barbecue. Weighing around 0.5 kg, it stands securely, and the rounded, smoothly polished rim feels comfortable in your hand when you hold it while pounding. The matching pestle is included.

Olive wood is hard, dense, and absorbs little moisture, which is why it is a classic material for mortars. The warm, lively grain makes every mortar a unique piece.
