Joseph Joseph Dash granite mortar and pestle with bamboo lid

Unlike conventional mortars and pestles, the Dash model from Joseph Joseph includes a practical bamboo lid. It keeps the mortar clean and dust-free when stored on your worktop or shelf. The lid design includes a deep groove at the top to keep the pestle secure when not in use, preventing it from rolling or falling out.

When removed, the lid transforms into a versatile tool. It can be turned upside down and used as a tray to place ingredients ready for preparation. Its flat, solid surface also makes it ideal as a small cutting surface, allowing you to slice herbs, chop garlic or prepare small ingredients before grinding them in the mortar.

Both the heavy pestle and the mortar are carved from the same hard-wearing natural granite. This strong, durable material is perfectly suited to crushing garlic, grinding spices, crushing herbs and preparing pestos and sauces. The slightly rough texture of granite helps to grind ingredients more efficiently, releasing all their flavors and aromas.

The beauty of the DASH mortar and pestle also lies in the uniqueness of each piece. Made from natural materials, each mortar and pestle features unique variations in granite color and grain, making it an aesthetic and functional addition to any kitchen.

To preserve the quality and beauty of this mortar and pestle, we recommend cleaning and drying it by hand after each use. By following these simple care instructions, you'll be able to enjoy this kitchen tool for many years to come.
