MARBLE OR WOOD PESTLE: HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST
Choosing the right pestle is essential to make the most of your mortar:
•Marble pestle: ideal for hard spices, pepper, coarse salt, and seeds. It provides precise and consistent grinding.
•Wooden pestle: perfect for sauces and fresh pestos, like traditional Genoese pesto. It works the leaves without heating them, preserving their aroma and texture.
