Carrara White Marble Mortar - 8 cm - Genoese Model - with Beech Wood Pestle

The 8 cm Carrara white marble mortar Bembo is the most compact model in the collection, ideal for grinding small quantities of pepper, salt, spices, seeds, dried herbs, and botanicals. Its small size makes it perfect for everyday use and for those who want a practical and elegant tool always at hand.

Made according to the traditional Genoese model, it is crafted from carefully worked and hand-finished Carrara white marble. The perfectly smooth inner surface allows ingredients to be ground without absorbing aromas or moisture, preserving their scents and flavors.

For centuries, the mortar has been one of the most important tools in the kitchen. Even today, it is essential for those who want to process ingredients naturally, enhancing their aromas and textures without the overheating caused by electric blades.

The importance of the mortar is also attested by Bartolomeo Scappi, the most famous chef of the Italian Renaissance, who in his work Opera dell'arte del cucinare recommended the use of the smooth marble mortar together with a wooden pestle, considering it the ideal tool for achieving perfect preparations.

Thanks to its compact size, this model is particularly suitable for grinding pepper, spices, flavored salt, seeds, berries, and botanicals. It is a practical, elegant, and always-ready-to-use tool, perfect for both cooking and mixology enthusiasts.

Each Bembo mortar is made of natural marble, therefore color and veins make each piece unique.
