Material Marble
Care Information Marble is a natural, porous surface. Take care when cleaning. Avoid oils and harsh cleaners.
How to use a Mortar and Pestle
Using a mortar and pestle is a traditional method of grinding, crushing, and blending ingredients to create flavorful pastes, sauces, and spice blends. You begin by selecting the ingredients you wish to grind or crush. This can include herbs, spices, garlic, nuts, seeds, or even fresh ingredients like ginger or chillis and add these ingredients into the mortar. It's best to start with smaller quantities to ensure efficient grinding. To grind hold the mortar steady with one hand and hold the pestle with the other. Use a gentle, circular motion to grind the ingredients against the bottom and sides of the mortar. Apply firm but controlled pressure to break down the ingredients into a desired consistency. Throughout the process, taste the mixture periodically to adjust the flavours and consistency to your liking. You can always add more ingredients and adjust as needed.
How to clean and care for a marble mortar and pestle.
Caring for a marble mortar and pestle is essential to maintain its beauty and functionality over time. As marble is a porous material that can absorb liquids and stains proper care and maintenance is very important. Here are some tips to help you care for your marble mortar and pestle and avoid or remove stains.

Dry thoroughly
After washing, dry the mortar and pestle thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth. Moisture left on the surface can lead to staining and discolouration over time.
