Now who doesn't like guacamole? And who doesn't like guacamole served in a rustic-looking mortar and pestle? The Casa Maria Mortar & Pestle is the perfect vessel to both make and serve guacamole for your next fiesta. My wife uses something similar usually for making guacamole and sometimes grinding up sesame seeds or saffron, but you can definitely use the Casa Maria Mortar and Pestle to grind up other spices and chiles. It's a great tool to have in the kitchen. After many uses, it'll become more seasoned and will help bring out the flavors from food that you'll feel like you're eating a home cooked meal out in the countryside of Mexico prepared by an old lady.

Make great guacamole for your next party with the Casa Maria Mortar & Pestle
