love it so far - wish there was a pellet clear out like a smaller model. Lindad. United States. Wed Nov 15 2023

Cast iron is a great material for mortars and pestles with its density and longevity. The pouring spouts on the XL and L models are great for those wet rubs or marinades.

I use this everyday as I am a spice person. Very nice.. Patricia. Guthrie, OK. Wed Dec 01 2021

A blade chops herbs; a pestle bruises them, and that is a different flavour. The Alva Nori 2-Cup Cast Iron Mortar and Pestle crushes garlic, spices and herbs rather than slicing them, rupturing the cells so the essential oils come out into the food instead of staying locked inside. Solid cast iron gives it the weight to do that with almost no effort from you, and the mass keeps the mortar planted on the counter instead of skidding. Two cups is enough for a curry paste or a batch of pesto, not just a clove of garlic. The interior develops a naturally seasoned patina with use. Made without intentionally added PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, lead or cadmium. Hand wash and dry. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, built in the Belgian tradition since 1949.

I like the heaviness of this mortar and pestle. I use it a lot. I am using it for smashing garlic, grinding cumin and other spices and herbs. I am learning other uses for this too. It is a good size. It does need to be dried after washing and this is not a problem for me. I highly recommend this.. Cary. CT. Thu Jan 08 2026
