Granite Mortar and Pestle - Crate and Barrel - Cilio by Frieling Goliath

Granite Mortar and Pestle - Crate and Barrel - Cilio by Frieling Goliath 5" tall, approx. 3 " deep, inner diameter 5.25" Solid home and kitchen tool, cut from a single piece of granite, well balanced design, extra stable. Tall walls to hold ingredients during use. The rough untreated texture of the interior quickly reduces hard items such as peppercorns to dust. The 11 lbs of stone and the design of the mortar make using the tool stable and comfortable as the pestle crushes, grinds, and mixes herbs or spices with ease. Perfect for fresh guacamole, pesto, or grinding spices to release full flavor and natural oils. Cook’s Illustrated Magazine's 2012 #1 mortar & pestle. Granite is a natural resource and thus it can be different colors from time to time. Hand washing recommended.
