The rarest grain. The most powerful grind. The most striking mortar you've ever seen.
This extraordinary cylindrical mortar and pestle is carved from the most dramatic piece of burl olive wood in our entire collection. Where standard olive wood shows swirling grain, this burl mortar displays something far rarer — wild, explosive knot formations, deep dark eye markings and a surface that looks more like abstract art than wood. The bold cylindrical form with its flat top rim and deep generous bowl makes it the most stable and powerful grinding mortar we produce. The T-bar pestle fits the hand perfectly, giving you maximum downward pressure and complete control for every grind. A kitchen tool that is genuinely impossible to ignore on any worktop.
Why this is our most extraordinary mortar:
• Rare burl olive wood — wild explosive knot formations found only in the most characterful pieces
• Bold cylindrical form — the most stable mortar shape, impossible to tip during use
• Flat top rim — clean, architectural and beautifully refined
• Deep generous bowl — spacious enough for serious grinding and large batches
• T-bar pestle — fills the hand completely for maximum grinding power and control
• Naturally antibacterial olive wood — safe, hygienic, zero coatings or chemicals
• Exceptionally dense burl wood — one of the hardest natural grinding surfaces available
• Absorbs aromatic oils of spices over time — seasons magnificently with every use
• Hand-finished with food-safe oil direct from our workshop
• Available in 3 sizes: 9, 12 and 16 cm
Perfect for crushing peppercorns, sea salt, whole spices, garlic, fresh herbs, dried herbs, curry pastes, pesto, harissa and more. The 9 cm is ideal for table-side spice grinding — the 12 cm handles everyday garlic, pepper and herb needs — the 16 cm is the serious cook's powerhouse for large batches and full paste recipes.
The most impressive mortar and pestle gift you can give — perfect for housewarmings, weddings, birthdays and Christmas. A piece so visually extraordinary that people ask about it every single time they visit your kitchen. Nothing else in our range — or anywhere else — looks quite like this.
