Round Olive Wood Pestle and Mortar – Solid Handcrafted Set (3 Sizes) | Verdant Grain

Choosing the right size depends on how you plan to use your mortar and pestle. If you typically grind small amounts of spices or garlic, the 8cm or 10cm sizes are great compact options and fit easily on kitchen counters. For making larger batches of spice blends, dressings, or pastes, the 13cm or 16cm sets offer more room and versatility. Many customers prefer having both a smaller and a larger size on hand for different grinding tasks. All sizes are beautifully handcrafted from solid olive wood, providing durability and elegance no matter your choice.

Unlike mass-produced alternatives, the Verdant Grain pestle and mortar set is handcrafted in Tunisia from a single block of sustainably sourced olive wood. This means every piece has its own unique grain, shape, and color—no two sets are exactly alike! Olive wood’s natural density and antibacterial properties make it perfect for grinding, and the smooth, stable base ensures comfortable, slip-free use. The ergonomic design is easy to grip, making it ideal for both everyday cooking and stunning, rustic kitchen displays.

To keep your olive wood pestle and mortar in top condition, always hand wash it with mild soap and warm water—avoid soaking it or using a dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to crack. After washing, dry it immediately with a soft cloth. To maintain the wood’s rich grain and prevent drying out, periodically rub it with a little food-grade olive oil. These simple steps will help your handcrafted set stay smooth, durable, and beautiful for years, making it a lasting addition to your kitchen.
