A classic culinary tool, our mortar and pestle is crafted of white marble with grey veining and scaled down to suit smaller tasks. Use our diminutive version to crush and blend just the right amount of spices, dried herbs, nuts, garlic cloves and peppercorns. Use it to bruise ruising fresh herbs and release the natural oils for fuller, more robust flavors. Our mini marble mortar and pestle is a Crate & Barrel exclusive. Because marble is a natural product, veining and coloring variations will occur.
