Origin

This Biova kitchen utensil is manufactured in China, an established location for high-quality cast iron products. Production follows proven casting methods with careful finishing for even wall thickness and reliable quality.

Material & workmanship

The mortar is made from solid cast iron with high density and stability. The material distributes the pressure of the pestle evenly, while the functionally designed interior surface reduces slipping of the spices and supports an effective grinding action.

Function & features

The hand mortar works purely mechanically and allows precise crushing, grinding and milling of small quantities. Weighing about 1.5 kg, it stands securely on the work surface, remains stable even during vigorous use and, thanks to its compact shape, can be stored easily in any kitchen.

Special features

Compared with lighter models made of wood or ceramic, this Biova kitchen tool stands out for its solid cast iron construction. The high dead weight supports your work and makes the mortar particularly suitable for hard spices such as pepper, coriander or cumin.

Care & handling

To clean, wash the spice mortar by hand with warm water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid aggressive detergents and the dishwasher; after thorough drying, the surface can be lightly oiled if required.

Possible uses

• Freshly crushing peppercorns, seeds and dried spices directly before cooking
• Grinding herbs and spice blends for marinades, rubs, dressings and curry pastes
• Mixing small batches of pastes, dips or pesto in the mortar for deeply developed flavours
