Collection: Mortar & Pestle

Product Description

Heavy, balanced, and built to last a lifetime. The Cole & Mason 5.5" Black Granite Mortar & Pestle is made entirely from durable granite — thick-walled and substantial enough to handle the pounding and grinding needed to extract maximum flavor from herbs, spices, and aromatics. Because granite is non-porous, spices and oils won’t be absorbed into the stone, so every ingredient retains its true flavor and strength. The unpolished interior and pestle tip provide the friction needed for effective grinding, while the polished exterior ensures swift, convenient cleanup.
