Molcajete Bowl

The molcajete is a century-old mortar and pestle used by Mexican cooks. Its rough surface is made entirely of volcanic stone, ideal for grinding and releasing flavorful oils from vegetables and spices. Like cast-iron, the molcajete bowl can go in the oven, retain heat for an hour, and it picks up flavors over time, continually enhancing the foods you're working with. Perfect for salsa, guacamole, queso, mole, and more. Each molcajete is packed in a tortilla basket made of hand-woven palm leav.
