Why choose it

The unpolished interior of the mortar provides the right texture to grind ingredients efficiently, while the polished exterior resists staining and wipes clean easily.

Ideal use cases

• Grinding whole spices like peppercorns, cumin, or coriander

Good to know

Hand washing is recommended to maintain the natural beauty of the marble. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers. Allow the set to air dry completely before storing.
