The Mortar has been one of the most important kitchen utensils for several centuries, which also winks at design. In the past, together with some cutting tools, it was the only effective tool for reducing any ingredient to pulp.

Even today we consider it a fundamental tool for those who want to use aromatic herbs and spices correctly.

Bembo offers you a line of perfectly smooth and hand-crafted Carrara marble mortars, according to the Genoese model. The product is presented framed by an elegant and refined packaging capable of enhancing the product, therefore also ideal as a gift.

Bartolomeo Scappi, in his treatise "Work of the art of cooking", refers to the mortar saying: "To make pestinous pulp in the smooth marble or porcelain mortar, because other stone is not so good for doing this thing, because which dries, and withdraws to itself, especially the travertine: crushed with a wooden piston that is not bitter like walnut, and other woods."

In fact, the smooth marble mortar is the best because, unlike other stones, it is not porous, just as the choice of wood for the pestle is a winning one.
