0.9 litre ceramic mortar with wooden pestle and black ceramic truffle Emile Henry

Emile Henry Truffe 0.9 litre matt black ceramic mortar and pestle.
Heavy and stable for crushing, pounding, grinding and powdering.  

Solid ceramic mortar provides great stability for crushing without holding the mortar with force.
Large 0.9 litre capacity so you can grind all the ingredients you need for cooking in one go.
Ceramic pestle with wide handle made from French birch wood.
The inside of the mortar and the end of the pestle are roughened to grip and hold the ingredients so you can crush them without slipping.  

Crushing aromatic plants releases all the fragrance and aroma of the leaves more powerfully than chopping, which only cuts.
Crushing brings out the flavours of the food tenfold, so you can create flavourful seasonings.  

You can crush, grind and powder condiments, herbs, spices, seeds and dried fruit such as garlic, mint, cumin, fenugreek, pepper, walnuts and hazelnuts...
Prepare aïoli or rougail, mix spices, grind aromatic or medicinal plants and make remarkable seasonings.  

Made in France.
