This Pencil Edge Mortar and Pestle from Avanti is carved from solid granite, built to release the full flavour and aroma of freshly crushed herbs, spices and aromatics. The 18cm bowl comes in a black speckled finish, with a rough interior surface that grinds ingredients efficiently and a smooth, polished exterior that is comfortable to hold and clean.
The rounded pestle has an unpolished head, adding friction that speeds up crushing whole spices, garlic, chilli and fresh herbs into pastes, dips, pesto, salsa and guacamole. Granite is non-porous, so the set will not absorb odours or flavours between uses, keeping each batch true to its ingredients. Before first use the bowl should be cured with rice, then seasoned with garlic, salt and spices, allowing at least 12 hours for the process to take hold. Hand wash only, without soap or detergent, to protect the stone's surface over time.
