Reminiscent of an heirloom kitchen tool, the heavy, textured granite stone of our Perch Mortar and Pestle makes quick work of pestos, curries, and whole dried spices. Our Perch Mortar and Pestle rests in an architectural base that allows you to position the mortar at the ideal angle, providing additional leverage and protecting countertops from the rough stone. The natural ash wood wears with use, ensuring the mortar nests even more smoothly with time.
