Pesto isn't blended. It's pounded.

Preparation

Crush the garlic with the coarse salt until a cream is obtained. Add the pine nuts and continue crushing until a homogeneous mixture is formed. Gradually incorporate the basil leaves with delicate rotating movements of the pestle, without crushing them abruptly. Add the grated cheeses and mix. Finish by pouring in the extra virgin olive oil in a steady stream, continuing to mix until a creamy and well-combined pesto is obtained.

  • Pestle Processing

    The Carrara marble mortar is born from an artisanal process that enhances one of the most precious marbles in the world. Each piece is crafted from a single block of marble, carefully finished to ensure robustness, stability, and an ideal surface for grinding ingredients. A durable utensil that combines tradition, functionality, and elegance.

  • Sauces and preparations with a mortar and pestle

    The marble mortar is perfect for preparing authentic pesto, sauces, aioli, guacamole, and dressings. Manual grinding extracts the essential oils from ingredients without overheating them, preserving aromas, flavors, and textures. The result is a richer and more natural preparation compared to mechanical methods.

  • Botanicals for gin and cocktails

    The mortar and pestle is the ideal accessory for gently crushing botanicals, spices, and herbs for gin and tonic and cocktail preparation. Juniper, pink pepper, cardamom, coriander, citrus zest, and rosemary thus release their full aroma, enhancing the aromatic profile of every drink with a professional and refined touch.

Bembo specializes in spices from around the world, for dishes with flavors and aromas reminiscent of four continents. We want to bring the quality and authenticity of traditional spices directly to your kitchen, allowing you to experiment and travel with taste.
