Granite mortar – effectively crushes all ingredients
The Cilio Goliath mortar in solid granite is a classic and powerful kitchen tool for your culinary arsenal. Carved from a single solid piece of untreated natural granite with a diameter of 18 cm, this mortar combines durability with functionality. The rough, unpolished interior ensures optimal friction when working with ingredients.
Ideal for preparing homemade pesto, guacamole, spice blends, crushing nuts and grinding herbs. The granite surface can even withstand high-acid ingredients.
Sturdy construction delivers superior results
The solid, single-piece natural granite construction gives the mortar a weight of 5 kg, ensuring it remains stable on the worktop during use. The high 13 cm walls keep ingredients safely in place and prevent spillage while you work. The included pestle, made from the same material, sits comfortably in the hand and gives you full control over the crushing process. The rough interior creates the friction needed to turn even hard spices and seeds into fine powder in a short time.
Practical and timeless for every cooking enthusiast
Despite its considerable weight ensuring stability, the mortar has a relatively compact design with an internal diameter of approximately 13.3 cm. This makes it perfect for both small and medium-sized portions without taking up too much space on the worktop. The timeless aesthetic of natural granite suits any kitchen and only improves with time and use. Unlike electric alternatives, manual grinding gives you full control over texture and releases more flavour compounds from ingredients.
Minimal maintenance for a long service life
This granite mortar is incredibly easy to maintain. After use, simply rinse it with warm water and leave it to air dry. Please note it is hand-wash only – avoid the dishwasher to preserve the granite's natural properties and appearance. Before first use, it is recommended to wash the mortar thoroughly in warm water to remove any manufacturing residues.
