This nicely sized wooden pestle and mortar set is great to have at hand when cooking, whether you need to grind spices, puree garlic with salt or you want to create your own pesto or salt blends, a pestle and mortar is all you need. Due to olive woods dense nature, you also don't need to worry about residual flavours tainting future mixes as flavours or liquids do not seep into the woods surface.
