Premium Mexican Guacamole Maker

The volcanic rock mortars and pestles are among the world's oldest culinary tools, and for thousands of years, great cooks have used tools like these. Our molcajete (mortar) and tejolete (pestle) are hand carved from a single piece of basalt rock, making each piece unique. In addition to being a great prep tool, the molcajete also makes an impressive serving dish for guacamole and other party favorites. Mexican's are the experts when it comes to guacamole, and using a Chinese made guacamole maker will not provide an authentic taste or experience. Our mortar and pestle are made in Mexico from volcanic granite lava, and according to Mexican chefs, each time you use it, a little bit of the stone taste gets mixed with the food, giving it that special authentic flavor.

This mortar and pestle is perfect for making authentic Mexican foods and will make a great showpiece at your next party. To season the mortar before first use, grind raw rice inside the bowl until the rice turns gray; empty and repeat until the rice no longer turns gray; rinse with water and scrub with a brush. Always place the molcajete on top of a cloth to avoid scratching the surface of your table or countertop, and avoid drastic changes in temperature. When caring for the mortar and pestle, hand-wash with running water, dish soap, and a brush, and dry thoroughly.

Our product is made in Mexico, measures about 8 inches round and 5 inches high, making it ideal for crushing whole spices and making spice blends. The heavy pestle ensures efficient grinding, blending, and mixing, while the rough interior texture of the mortar helps to crush and grind ingredients. Our volcanic rock mortar and pestle will help you make guacamole and salsa the way Mexican restaurants do, and you can even line it with lettuce leaves to use as an all-purpose serving bowl.

Easy to use and easy to clean, this mortar and pestle will make a great addition to your kitchen for making authentic Mexican foods.
