Granite Mortar & Pestle

Granite Mortar and Pestle is not only attractive but also hard wearing and will stand the test of time. Made completely of durable granite, this mortar and pestle is heavy, balanced and can withstand the pounding and grinding necessary to extract the most flavor out of herbs and spices. And since granite is non-porous, spices and oils will not be absorbed into the stone so they obtain their true flavor and strength. Crushing the fibers of herbs, as opposed to chopping through them, releases the full range of essential oils, flavors and aromatics they contain – it’s what gives chili and curry pastes that distinctive breadth and depth of flavor that you won’t find if you’re prepping ingredients with a food processor.
