What it is / Product description

This cast iron hand mortar from Biova is a solid kitchen tool for precise grinding of pepper, herbs and whole spices. The heavy, dark cast iron provides a timeless look and a very stable working base.

Use the cast iron hand mortar for aromatic spice blends, rubs or marinades that you prepare immediately before cooking. This way, aromas unfold freshly as needed and you support a creative kitchen with a durable Biova kitchen tool.

Origin

The mortar is manufactured in China from solid cast iron, a country with a long tradition in metal processing. Standardized production processes ensure consistent Biova quality with precisely fitting components and properties tailored to use as a spice mortar.

Material & workmanship

The hard cast iron offers a slightly rough, grinding-active surface that efficiently crushes peppercorns, seeds and herbs. The dimensionally stable material is heat-resistant, designed for long-term use, and the ergonomically shaped pestle transfers force directly to the material being ground.

Function & properties

With a weight of approx. 1.10 kg per piece, the mortar stands very firmly on the work surface and hardly slips during use. The compact design requires little space, while the integrated storage compartment keeps freshly ground spices readily at hand for short-term use.

Special features

The combination of solid cast iron, high own weight and a practical storage compartment sets this Biova kitchen tool apart from many standard mortars. The simple, dark look blends harmoniously into both modern and classic kitchen environments and is also suitable for harder spices such as peppercorns, coriander seeds or mustard seeds.

Care & handling

For cleaning, wipe out the cast iron mortar with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and then dry it thoroughly. Aggressive cleaning agents and dishwashing in the dishwasher should be avoided; if necessary, the inner surface can occasionally be rubbed thinly with cooking oil and then wiped dry again.

Possible applications

• Fresh grinding of pepper, herbs and whole spices directly before cooking
