Compact, sturdy, and crafted for freshly ground flavors. The Kiruna mortar is made of solid cast iron with a precisely textured, curved interior that makes crushing and grinding spices, seeds, and peppercorns effortless. A non-slip silicone base keeps it steady and protects your countertop, while the ergonomic acacia wood pestle fits comfortably in your hand for maximum control.
