The Beauty of Tuscan Olive Wood

Olive wood is celebrated for its incredible density, durability, and stunning natural grain.

• Unique Masterpiece: Each mortar is unique, with its own intricate patterns and warm tones, making it a distinctive addition to your countertop.

• Natural Resistance: Due to its high oil content and density, olive wood is naturally resistant to odors and bacteria, perfect for intensive kitchen use.

• Velvety Texture: Polished by hand, the wood offers a smooth, ergonomic grip that makes the ancient ritual of grinding a true pleasure.

A Ritual for Every Senses

Using a mortar and pestle is the secret to unlocking the true aromatic potential of your ingredients.

• Pesto alla Toscana: Crush fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, and Pecorino Toscano DOP to create a vibrant sauce that no electric blender can replicate.

• Freshly Ground Spices: Release the essential oils of black pepper, coriander, or dried Mediterranean herbs for a deeper, more complex flavor profile.

• Aesthetic Excellence: Its rustic yet refined design makes it a beautiful centerpiece, capturing the essence of a traditional Italian farmhouse.

Why Choose Artisanal Wood Over Stone?

While marble or granite are common, olive wood offers a unique set of benefits:

• Silent & Lightweight: Unlike heavy stone, wood is quieter during use and easier to move around your kitchen.

• Flavor Preservation: The wood does not heat up during the grinding process, ensuring that the delicate essential oils of herbs like basil or saffron remain intact.

• Sustainable Craftsmanship: Our mortars are created by local artisans using wood sourced from sustainable pruning, respecting the life cycle of the Tuscan olive groves.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure your olive wood mortar lasts for generations, we recommend a few simple steps:

• Hand Wash Only: Rinse with warm water and a mild detergent, never place it in the dishwasher.

• Natural Hydration: Occasionally rub the wood with a food-grade mineral oil or a drop of Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil to maintain its luster and prevent drying.
