Rustic Olive Wood Pestle and Mortar – Handcrafted (3 Sizes) | Verdant Grain

Our Rustic Olive Wood Pestle and Mortar is available in three sizes – 9cm, 12cm, and 16cm – to suit different cooking needs. If you mostly grind small amounts of spices or crush herbs for single servings, the 9cm is perfect. The 12cm size is our most popular and versatile, ideal for making pesto, salsas, or spice blends without taking too much counter space. For larger batches or if you entertain often, go for the roomy 16cm. Each piece is hand-carved, so no two sets are exactly alike, but you'll find these guidelines handy for choosing your best fit!

Absolutely! At Verdant Grain, each pestle and mortar is hand-carved from solid, sustainably sourced olive wood, known for its exceptional durability and natural antibacterial properties. The unique grain and chemical-free finish mean that every set is one-of-a-kind and entirely food-safe—no varnishes or toxic coatings here. With proper care, your olive wood kitchen tool can last for years, making it a sustainable and reliable choice for home cooks who love natural, healthy kitchenware.

Your handcrafted olive wood pestle and mortar is easy to look after: simply hand wash with mild soap, rinse, and dry immediately—never put it in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in water. To keep the beautiful grain shining and prevent the wood from drying out, occasionally rub it with a little food-safe olive oil. With these simple steps, your eco-friendly kitchen essential will stay gorgeous and functional for years, making every meal feel a bit more special.
