Masienda Artisan Made Molcajete

The Molcajete is a mortar and pestle made of fine-grained basalt lava rock used for preparing salsa and guacamole, as well as grinding spices, chiles, and more. Proudly made in Mexico by artisan Don Enrique of San Salvador El Seco, Puebla., Our 7" Molcajete Chico makes enough guacamole or salsa for two.

A Note on Variations: Due to the artisanal nature of every piece, there may be natural and unique variations and imperfections in basalt color and porosity. A true testament to nature itself, pieces of cooled lava (showing up as in quartz within each slab of basalt) may also appear. Enrique calls these pieces corazón de piedra (heart of the rock) and these surprise elements are considered especially prized within the cantero community.
