The Molcajete (mortar) is probably one of the most ancient kitchen tools we carry, dating back several thousand years and used by the Aztecs and Mayans. Extremely popular in Mexican cuisine, it is an essential tool for making guacamole and other salsas, and great for grinding herbs and whole spices.
The Molcajetes we carry are completely hand carved by our artisans in Mexico from a single block of the best quality basalt volcanic rock through a laborious chipping process, making each piece unique. They have an extra deep bowls and make for a great presentation on a table. The earthy texture created by the Molcajete is quite distinctive, and due to the seasonings of the Molcajete, will carry a subtle difference in taste which can't be duplicated in a blender. The rough rock surface is superb for grinding, and it always stays rough due to the tiny bubbles in the rock which emerge even if ground down, ensuring you will enjoy your Molcajete for many years.
Two piece set including a semi-cylindrically shaped tejolete (pestle), also made of basalt volcanic rock.
