Why We Love It

Hand-carved from a single piece of lava stone in a traditional pig’s head shape, our authentic molcajete includes a tejolete pestle. A molcajete with a rough interior texture is still the best culinary tool for grinding ingredients for salsas, guacamole and other classic Mexican dishes. A durable, long-lasting gift with a time-honored design, a genuine molcajete mortar like ours will improve with time and use as it absorbs spices and flavors.
