Pestle & Mortar Set (Idi Kal) – Traditional Stone Grinder for Authentic Herbal and Culinary Use

Experience the authentic power of traditional grinding with Herbolaya’s Pestle & Mortar Set, locally known as Idi Kal. Handcrafted from pure natural stone, this time-honored tool is essential for preparing fresh, flavorful herbs and spices while preserving their true aroma and medicinal properties.

Crafted from Natural Stone for Durability and Purity

Our Idi Kal is made from 100% natural granite stone—renowned for its hardness and longevity. Unlike artificial concrete alternatives, this natural stone mortar and pestle is:

• Non-porous and smooth, ensuring no absorption of oils or flavors from ingredients

• Extremely durable and cohesive, preventing any stone fragments from mixing with your spices or herbs

• Resistant to wear and breakage, designed to withstand rigorous pounding and grinding

When dry, the stone appears white, and when wet, it transforms to a deep black—an authentic characteristic unique to natural granite. This ensures you receive an all-natural tool that enhances your cooking and herbal preparations.
