A mortar and pestle made of olive wood from Greece.

What can you use it for, and how does it work? Why should you buy a mortar at all? What do you do with a mortar?

A mortar and pestle is used to grind and mix herbs in the Greek kitchen. It is used to prepare our marinades, sauces and soups. Olive wood is the perfect material for this kitchen utensil, because it is extremely strong.

You really need a Grinder in your kitchen. There are several reasons why you really need a Grinder in the Greek kitchen. In addition to pounding and mixing herbs, you can also use it to grind herbs and spices into a delicious Guacamole or Pesto. By grinding with a mortar and pestle, the fresh flavours of the herbs come out best. Please note that the use of a mortar and pestle requires strength, but that it is 100% worth it once you have used it, you will never want to do otherwise.

How to prepare the mortar for use? To get the most out of your mortar and pestle, we advise you to do the following:

- Put a little rice in the Mortar and pestle by turning and scraping. Use a lot of force for a good result.

- When the rice has become white powder, rinse this utensil under lukewarm water.

- Dry the mortar and pestle thoroughly.

- Now put in a little dry coconut or peanut and continue turning and scraping until there is a complete layer of coconut or peanut. Give it a few hours, the oil from the coconut or peanut will then soak into the Grinder.

- After the oil has soaked in, rinse this kitchen utensil under lukewarm water and dry it thoroughly.

How do I take care of my products?

You have bought a beautiful olive wood product at Olijfolieenhoning.nl. Of course you want to know how you can best care for your purchase. We can make it very difficult, but actually it is very easy! The very best care for the olive wood products in your kitchen is to massage them regularly with olive oil!

How does it work?
Make sure the product is clean and dry. Take a cloth and put a little olive oil on the cloth. Rub the olive oil into the wood. Let it soak in overnight. Then use it as usual. Regularly treating your olive wood kitchen utensils with olive oil will provide a protective layer. This will reduce the chance of discolouration and prevent the wood from retaining odours.

How often should I care for my wooden kitchenware?
It depends on how often you use your olive wood kitchenware. If your chopping board is brought out, used and washed daily, it could use a weekly olive oil treatment. If you have one of our unique serving boards, for example, and it is brought out once in a while, then rubbing it with olive oil once a month is sufficient.

Can olive wood go into the dishwasher?
Our advice, do NOT put olive wood in the dishwasher! The life span of your kitchen utensils will be shortened immensely and the wood will not become more beautiful. Actually, it is wise to keep any kind of wood out of the dishwasher. Wooden kitchen utensils are not resistant to the heat they have to withstand in the dishwasher. In addition to the quality deteriorating drastically, the olive wood will turn white. Please don't do it!
