Details
A small round mortar turned by hand from solid Tunisian olive wood, with a matching olive wood pestle. One side of the mortar shows long, flowing honey and brown stripes; the other side is rich in burl, the small dark "eyes" typical of olive root wood, with a patch of natural rough grain left visible. The pestle has a wide, flat head for crushing and a rounded knob at the top, with a turned ring on the handle.
- Size: mortar approx. 11 cm in diameter
- Included: mortar and pestle
- A handy size for garlic, peppercorns, seeds and spices, right next to the hob or on the table
The photos show the exact piece you will receive, from every side. Every piece is made by hand, so the grain and shape vary from one mortar to another. Handmade in Tunisia, checked by us in Italy.
Care: wash by hand with warm water and mild soap and dry straight away; do not soak or put in the dishwasher. Now and then, refresh the wood with a little food-safe oil.
Materials + Care
Our wood pieces are crafted from solid olive wood, prized for its density, tight grain, and natural durability; ceramic-tile pieces are finished with hand-set, kiln-fired tiles set in an olive wood frame.
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water and dry immediately — do not soak or use the dishwasher. Every few months, condition wood surfaces with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to keep the grain from drying out, and keep pieces away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight.
