Hand carved from one piece of solid stone. The stone comes from the Kouhsangi area in Khorasan (Kousangi translates to "The stone mountain") and the carving is done by locals of the area as they have been doing for over a 1200 years. These hand carved granite items have been one of the most popular souvenirs or trade items along the silk road throughout history.

Washing Instructions:
1. Wipe away any residue left from previous grinding with a clean paper towel. Pay special attention to any carved nooks and crannies on your pestle’s handle.
2. Treat any stains from grinding deeply coloured or very oily ingredients by dabbing them with a paper towel soaked in lemon juice or white vinegar. Do not allow the acid to sit on the stain.
3. Squirt a little bit of mild dish soap on a damp soft sponge or washcloth and rub it gently all over the pestle as well as on the inside and outside of the mortar.
4. Rinse the mortar and pestle in warm water until all the soap has been removed. Make sure to rinse the inside of the mortar and the grinding end of the pestle especially well because soap residue can affect the flavour of whatever you grind next.
5. Dry your mortar and pestle thoroughly with a clean dish towel or lay them out on a folded dishtowel to air dry.
Tips & Warnings
1. Scrub your mortar out with dry rice to remove stubborn stains without using harsh abrasives.
2. Do not soak your mortar and pestle in any type of acidic liquid or harsh chemical or you may damage the stone
