Everything about the Molcajete Mexican Molcajete Lava Stone Mortar and Pestle.
The Molcajete (molcahete) is the oldest tool used in Mexican cooking for grinding spices, it was used in Meso America by the Aztec and Mayan cultures. the authentic Molcajete es handcrafted from a single block of porous basalt volcanic rock. Molcajetes are typically round in shape and supported by three short legs. The rough surface of the basalt stone creates a superb surface for grinding spices and chiles in spite of time and wear, this surface stays porous, because of the bubbles of air released from the basalt, guaranteeing an ideal surface for grinding.
