Wooden Pestle and Mortar made from teak wood is an essential tool for the kitchen or everyday use. A valuable piece of kitchenware, handcrafted in the heart of Bali using responsibly sourced teak wood. Teak, or Tectona grandis, is native to Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Burma. Teak wood contains a natural oil that makes it water-resistant. This same oil also protects the wood from decay, insects, and bacteria. These properties make our wooden pestle and mortar a truly special item, offering durability, beauty, and function.
