Durable granite with practical advantages
This solid granite mortar is not just a beautiful tool in the kitchen; the material also offers significant benefits in cooking. Granite is naturally acid-resistant, allowing you to safely work with citrus, vinegar, and other acidic ingredients without risk of reactions. Additionally, it does not absorb odors or flavors, enabling you to switch between different ingredients without worrying about flavor transfer. The rough surface provides just the right friction for effective crushing and grinding.
Tangible results in the kitchen
With the Goliath mortar, you achieve a finer consistency in your homemade spice blends compared to electric alternatives. The manual process releases more aroma from spices and herbs as it breaks down cell walls without the heat generation that can destroy volatile oils. The mortar's weight of 2.5 kg ensures it remains stable on the countertop, even when you're putting in some effort. The wide, deep bowl effectively holds ingredients during processing.
