To release the most flavor from certain herbs and spices you need the right tools. This handsome Mortar and Pestle is perfect for grinding herbs, spices and nuts into pastes or powders. The heavy, smooth marble makes for a sturdy base and provides the right amount of weight for best results. Use it again and again for pestos, homemade curry powder and spice rubs – it's made to last a lifetime.

by Madeline (Bronx, NY) 3 reviews It's just beautiful! The kind of item you would like to display in your kitchen counter. Inside it has little ridges so that it makes the job at hand easier. It has a good welght. The pestle is shiny but the end is unfinished which helps the grinding process. Together they grind any ingredient faster. I have noticed that it hasn't acquired any smell or odors from any of the foods I've put in there which is great because I can use it for all foods without the fear of having and savory flavors crossing over to the sweet ones. It came in a small box with the pestle on top. It's very easy to clean. I would recommend this to anyone especially if they are short on space.
by Terence (Dearborn, MI) 1 review I find it great for crushing things like juniper berries for recipes, or just bringing compacted cooking spices back to life.
by Delores (Deatsville, AL) 2 reviews This mortar & pestle is excellent. It is just the right size and weight and makes grinding and mashing ingredients so easy to do. I would recommend this item for anyone who cooks!
