Le Creuset Mortar and Pestle

Le Creuset combines the heritage of European craftsmanship, the performance of brilliant design and the passion of cooking in their exceptional collections. In 1925, Le Creuset was born and set up in Frensoy-le-Grand, northern France. All Le Creuset enameled cast iron products continue to be produced in the same foundry of France to this day! The friction of the mortar's rough ceramic interior against the grinding action of the pestle releases the full flavor of herbs and spices, while also changing the texture and consistency of pesto and other dishes. The unglazed interior is abrasive enough to effectively break down contents, yet durable enough withstand the friction of repeated grinding. Click here for Le Creuset recipes!
