White Marble Mortar & Pestle – 16 cm

Elegant, robust and functional, this mortar and pestle is crafted from natural white marble. A timeless kitchen accessory combining refined aesthetics with the efficiency needed to grind spices, herbs and other aromatic ingredients.

The natural density of marble provides excellent stability during grinding, while the pestle offers a comfortable grip for efficiently crushing and grinding ingredients.

Natural White Marble

White marble is distinguished by its elegant appearance and natural grey veining. Each mortar therefore features its own individual shades and patterns.

Due to the natural characteristics of the stone, colour, veining and overall appearance may vary slightly from one piece to another. These natural variations are not defects but are part of the unique character of each product.

Perfect for Grinding and Crushing

Thanks to its solid construction, this mortar is ideal for regular use. It is particularly suitable for grinding and crushing:

• whole spices and spice blends;
• fresh or dried aromatic herbs;
• garlic and other condiments;
• seeds;
• small quantities of nuts;
• aromatic mixtures and marinades.

Manual grinding also helps to gradually release the essential oils, flavours and aromas naturally present in spices and herbs.

Robust and Comfortable to Use

Weighing approximately 1.37 kg, the mortar provides good stability on the worktop while ingredients are being ground.

The upper section of the pestle provides a comfortable grip, making it easy to use circular grinding or pressing movements depending on the ingredients being prepared.

Before First Use

1. Rinse the mortar and pestle thoroughly with warm water to remove any dust.
2. Add approximately 3 tablespoons of white rice to the mortar with a small amount of water.
3. Grind the rice using circular movements until it forms a fine paste or powder.
4. Discard the rice, rinse the mortar and repeat the process if necessary until the ground rice remains clean and white.
5. Rinse thoroughly and allow the mortar and pestle to air dry completely before use.

Care Instructions

After use, clean the mortar and pestle with warm water and a small amount of mild washing-up liquid, then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning products or scouring pads, as these may affect the natural finish of the marble.
