Our Olive Wood Mortar & Pestle set is meticulously handcrafted from non-productive olive trees, embodying a commitment to sustainable sourcing and exquisite craftsmanship. Each piece, designed in Italy and produced by skilled artisans in a family-owned business in Tunisia, is nonporous, naturally antibacterial, and finished with a protective layer of olive oil, sometimes enhanced with local vegetable oil and honey, to ensure its lasting quality and beauty. The unique, hard surface of olive wood makes it ideal for the rigorous demands of grinding and mashing, offering both durability and efficiency in your kitchen.
Ethical Sourcing: By utilizing non-productive olive trees, our mortar & pestle not only prevents waste but also promotes environmental sustainability.
Supporting Artisans: Crafted in Tunisia by artisans receiving fair wages, each purchase supports local economies and upholds the principles of ethical sourcing and traditional craftsmanship.
Health and Safety: The natural antibacterial properties of olive wood, combined with its nonporous surface, make this piece safe and hygienic for food preparation.
Maintenance: To maintain the aesthetic appeal and longevity of your Olive Wood Mortar & Pestle, hand wash with warm water and natural soap or a salt/lemon mixture. Avoid dishwashers to preserve the wood's integrity.
Polishing: Periodically oil the wood with organic olive oil to retain its shine and durability, ensuring your mortar and pestle set remains a cherished part of your kitchen for years to come.
Available in an approximate 5.5" diameter, each mortar and pestle set features a hand-sanded, wavy edge for a smooth finish, replacing the traditional bark edge for a sleek, modern look.
Our Artisan-Crafted Olive Wood Mortar & Pestle is not merely a kitchen tool but a statement of style, sustainability, and superior quality, designed to last a lifetime with proper care and bring a touch of artisanal elegance to your culinary endeavors.
