Alva Nori mortar and pestle crushing herbs and garlic

Good questions, straight answers

Everything you’re wondering

What can I prepare with this mortar and pestle?
Crush fresh herbs, garlic, whole spices and aromatics for dressings, rubs and pastes. The weight of the cast iron gives you a steady base while grinding.
Why choose cast iron for grinding?
Its weight helps keep the mortar steady as you crush spices, herbs and aromatics. The enamel finish gives the piece a distinctive look without requiring cast iron seasoning.
Is it designed for stovetop or oven cooking?
No. This is a food-preparation tool for crushing and grinding ingredients, not a pan or heating vessel.
How should I clean and store it?
Hand-wash gently after grinding, dry it thoroughly and avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
