The Original White Carrara Marble Mortar

Pesto is not blended. It's pounded.

Preparation

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

  • The Mortar Processing

    The Carrara marble mortar is the result of artisanal craftsmanship that enhances one of the world's most prized marbles. 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 Made with a Mortar and Pestle

    The marble mortar and pestle is perfect for preparing authentic pesto, sauces, aioli, guacamole, and dressings. Manual grinding allows you to extract the essential oils from ingredients without overheating them, preserving their 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 aromatic herbs destined for the preparation of gin and tonics and cocktails. Juniper, pink peppercorns, cardamom, coriander, citrus peels, and rosemary thus release their full aroma, enhancing the aromatic profile of every drink with a professional and refined touch.
