Hand mortar granite ceramic

Denks hand mortar is made of Granicium®, the hard ceramic material made from granite processed into rock flour. With water and effective microorganisms, it is turned into a clay-like, delicate mass that can only be further processed with care. The time required is immense, as the drying process in the mold alone takes two weeks before the pestle and grating bowl can be gas-fired at the highest temperature. However, it is worth it, because with its roughened surface, the Granicium® is ideally suited for this purpose. With only a little pressure on the pestle with its wide grating surface, fresh or dried herbs as well as spices can be crushed or made into paste within a very short time, pepper and coarse sea salt can even be ground very finely and evenly. Thus, the hand mortar is ideally suited to freshly crush small quantities even at the table.
