Olive wood is the perfect wood for making kitchen utensils and serving dishes. The wood is extremely hard and dense, making it naturally more stain and odor resistant than most other woods. Additionally, olive wood has unique and beautiful color variations, showing dramatic shades of dark and light patterns, making it exceptionally beautiful.
Your kitchen will instantly sparkle with a touch of natural olive wood from the Holy Land. Atzay Hagush has created a pestle and mortar set that is both beautiful and functional. You will enjoy using this set for years to come.
A pestle and mortar are essential for a well-equipped kitchen. You can use it to crush ingredients like spices and nuts and make sauces and pastes!
Care for your handmade Olive Wood Pestle and Mortar
