Want the freshest flavors in your cooking? There's nothing like grinding your own spices! This beautiful UPTALY set gives you two mortars and pestles (one small, one large) carved from a single piece of 100% natural wood. You can choose Sapele wood or Rosewood – both are super sturdy, food-safe, BPA-free, and have no weird odors.
They're coated with a natural, healthy lacquer from the lacquer tree. This protects the wood, reduces wear from grinding, and keeps it looking gorgeous. The mortar walls are thick and smooth, built to handle serious pounding. The pestle has a flat, round bottom that fits perfectly inside, mashing ingredients over a large area so nothing escapes.
Perfect for grinding whole spices into powder, crushing garlic into a juicy paste, making guacamole, or mashing herbs, nuts, and peppers for sauces. The inner space is generous to prevent overflow. Plus, the size is just right for easy storage in your cabinet or drawer.
A quick note on the woods: Rosewood is yellowish, very hard, with a rough, interwoven grain and a light, pleasant smell. Sapele wood has a higher gloss, a slightly softer (but still firm) texture, a fine, uniform structure with a wavy grain, and a pine-like scent. Due to the wood's natural slow growth, some pieces may have light-colored edges – that's totally normal and part of its charm!
**Important:** Do NOT put these in the microwave, oven, or dishwasher. Hand wash only. Bring authentic, fresh aromas into your kitchen with this timeless, manual tool!
