Used for centuries by Mexican cooks, a molcajete is an ancient form of mortar and pestle uses the rough surface of volcanic stone to more efficiently grind and release flavorful oils from vegetable and spices. Mexican artisans carve the Verve Culture molcajete out of the volcanic stone, along with a matching pestle called a tejolote. The rough surface of the basalt stone creates a superb grinding surface that maintains itself over time as tiny bubbles in the basalt are ground down, replenishing the textured surface. Use this traditional and authentic molcajete to mix the most delicious guabamole, prepare flavorful salsa, bake ooey gooey queso fundido, and more. You'll be hooked by the fresh and flavorful results. Included with your molcajete is a tortillero palm basket, also made by Mexican artisans and used to keep homemade tortillas warm. Each basket is hand-woven, so every color combination is special and unique to you! Contains booklet including curing instructions, history, and recipes for queso fundido, traditional salsa, salsa verde, and traditional guacamole.
