Granite mortar with pestle Ø13 cm

Granite mortar – a powerful kitchen companion

The Cilio Goliath mortar in solid granite combines raw strength with elegant functionality. With a diameter of 13 cm and a weight of 2.5 kg, this mortar offers the perfect balance between stability and working space. The included pestle sits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to crush and grind both hard and soft ingredients.

Ideal for preparing homemade pesto, crushing spices, grinding herbs and turning sugar into icing sugar.

Durable granite with practical advantages

The solid granite mortar is not merely a beautiful kitchen tool – the material also offers decisive advantages in cooking. Granite is naturally acid-resistant, meaning you can confidently work with citrus, vinegar and other acidic ingredients without risk of reaction. At the same time, it absorbs neither odours nor flavours, so you can switch between different ingredients without worrying about flavour transfer. The rough surface provides exactly 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 than with electric alternatives. The manual process releases more aroma from spices and herbs, as it breaks down cell walls without the heat generated by electric grinders, which can destroy volatile oils. The mortar's weight of 2.5 kg ensures it stays firmly on the worktop even when you apply significant force. The wide, deep bowl effectively keeps ingredients in place during processing.

Practical specifications

The mortar measures 13 cm in diameter and weighs 2.5 kg, providing a good balance between capacity and manoeuvrability. It is made from quality granite by German brand Cilio, based in Solingen and renowned for exceptional craftsmanship since 1993. Cleaning is straightforward – use warm water and a cloth, no washing-up liquid required. Please note the product is hand-wash only.

With the Cilio Goliath mortar you get:

• A hard-wearing granite mortar unaffected by acidic ingredients
• Optimal friction for effective crushing and grinding
• A solid construction that remains stable during use
