Compact design, maximum flavour.
Unlock the full aroma of your herbs and spices with this 13 cm mini conical mortar and pestle. Whether you are making spice blends, pastes, dips, salsas, pesto, or guacamole, this tool crushes and grinds ingredients efficiently. Its conical shape provides excellent surface contact, releasing flavours while retaining the pure character of each ingredient.
Carved from solid granite, it features a rough-textured interior for effective grinding and pulverising. In addition, the non-porous stone prevents flavours and odours from being absorbed. The smooth, polished exterior ensures comfortable handling, while the rounded pestle with an unpolished head increases friction for perfect pastes every time. This compact mortar is ideal for smaller kitchens or for creating precise, small-batch spice blends.

Use & Care:
Use Instructions:
Preparing your mortar for first-time use:
- A new mortar and pestle set needs to be cured and seasoned to remove stone grit from the inside.
Curing Process:
- Scrub the mortar and pestle with a brush under running water and allow to air dry. Never use soap or detergent in the mortar.
- Fill ½ with white rice. Grind in a circular motion all the way around to a fine powder. Discard and repeat until the rice grinds white, is “clean” and has no grit or colour in it.
- Rinse with cold water and allow to air dry.
Seasoning Process:
- Add 2 cloves of garlic, coarse salt, cumin seeds and a bit of whole coriander.
- Grind the ingredients to a paste. Make sure it covers all the inner surface.
- Allow the mixture to remain in the mortar and residue on the pestle at least overnight (12 hours).
- Scrape out and discard the mixture. Rinse with cold water and allow to air dry.
