Cole and Mason's Mortar and Pestle Set is not only attractive but also hard-wearing and will stand the test of time. Made completely of durable granite, this mortar and pestle is heavy, balanced, and can withstand the pounding and grinding necessary to extract the most flavour out of herbs and spices. And since granite is non-porous, spices and oils will not be absorbed into the stone so they obtain their true flavour and strength. The choice of herbs and spices available today brings bold new flavours and colours into the kitchen. To help food lovers get the most from these ingredients, cole Mason offers a wide range of herb and spice items.
