Used for centuries by Mexican cooks, this ancient form of mortar and pestle uses the rough surface of volcanic stone to more efficiently grind and release flavorful oils from vegetables and herbs. Prepare and serve smaller servings of salsa, mole or guacamole in our mini molcajete, and you'll be hooked by the fresh and flavorful results. Handcrafted by skilled artisans, this diminutive version is also ideal for grinding spices for curries, chai and other culinary uses. Each handmade molcajete is unique.
