Olive Wood Garlic Grinder – Snug Fit Mortar & Pestle (16 cm) | Verdant Grain

This mortar and pestle stands out because it’s handcrafted from sustainably sourced Tunisian olive wood, making each piece beautifully unique with its own natural grain patterns. The snug-fit design means the pestle sits perfectly within the 16 cm bowl, giving you efficient grinding for garlic, spices, and fresh herbs without the mess. Olive wood is not only stunning but also naturally antibacterial and food-safe, so it’s a healthy, stylish, and eco-friendly choice for your kitchen.

To preserve the quality and beauty of your Verdant Grain olive wood mortar & pestle, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and water—never put it in the dishwasher! Dry it thoroughly after each use. Occasionally, re-oil the wood with food-safe olive oil to maintain its smoothness and natural sheen. This simple care routine will help prevent cracking and ensure your mortar and pestle lasts for many years of garlic, spice, and herb grinding.

Absolutely! While the snug-fit design excels at grinding garlic cloves, this versatile mortar & pestle is just as effective for crushing spices, blending fresh herbs, or making small batches of pesto and pastes. The 16 cm size strikes a perfect balance, offering enough space for everyday kitchen needs but still easy to handle and store. Plus, the lovely olive wood makes it a wonderful gift for home cooks who appreciate natural, eco-friendly kitchenware.
