Our Simple Collection is all about pared back design, made from tried and true materials that last and last. These pieces are versatile and useful, designed with an easiness that makes them seem at home in traditional or minimalist spaces, and can make small moments feel nice and big ones feel… well, simple.

Perfect for making fresh guacamole, pesto, or grinding dry spices! They grind and crush whole spices and herbs quickly and easily, releasing full flavor and essential oils. Each mortar is cut from one solid piece of natural granite or marble for longevity. Like all cilio mortars & pestles, these mortars feature an untreated, coarse inside to facilitate grinding, and their tall walls won't let ingredients escape. The pestles are heavy, yet comfortably shaped.

Unlike other pestles and mortars, this stylish design includes a reversible bamboo lid with several functions. Firstly, it helps keep the mortar clean and dust-free when stored on a counter or shelf and features a deep groove on the top to safely hold the pestle when not in use. When removed, the lid can also be turned over and used as a small chopping surface. The heavy-weight pestle and mortar are both carved from the same hard-wearing, natural granite, making them perfect for crushing garlic, grinding spices, pounding herbs, and making pesto and salsas. As this product is made from beautiful, natural materials, each item produced is unique.
