Olive Wood Pestle and Mortar – Rustic Herb Grinder (10 cm) | Verdant Grain

Great question! Our Olive Wood Pestle and Mortar stands out because each piece is handcrafted from sustainably-sourced, premium olive wood, making every set unique in both grain and character. Unlike ceramic or stone, olive wood is naturally antibacterial and less prone to chipping or cracking, which means it’s not just beautiful—it’s built to last. Plus, it’s lightweight and comfortable to use, perfect for everyday grinding of herbs, spices, or garlic. This rustic herb grinder brings natural warmth and artisanal quality to your kitchen, whether you're a home cook or shopping for a thoughtful and eco-friendly gift.

Your olive wood mortar and pestle is naturally durable and easy to maintain! After each use, simply hand-wash with mild soap and warm water (no dishwasher, please, as harsh detergents and heat can damage the wood). Towel dry immediately and occasionally rub a bit of food-safe mineral oil or olive oil into the surface to keep the wood nourished and gorgeous. Avoid soaking it in water, and store it in a dry place. With these easy steps, your rustic herb grinder will remain a beautiful and long-lasting part of your kitchenware collection.

Absolutely! The Verdant Grain Olive Wood Pestle and Mortar is crafted from eco-friendly, sustainably harvested olive wood, so it’s both a green choice and safe for food preparation thanks to its natural antibacterial properties. No varnishes or chemicals are used on the surface—just pure, food-safe olive oil. Its stunning, rustic design makes it a thoughtful, sustainable gift for any foodie or chef. You can feel confident using it to grind your favorite spices or herbs knowing it's safe, durable, and made with respect for the environment.
