The smallest family in models and one of the strongest in intent: a buyer searching for an olive wood mortar knows exactly what they want. Five models cover it. The round-surface mortar and pestle is the classic shape; the rustic version keeps the natural outline of the block it was turned from; the quadrate mortar presents a square working surface; the Puerto Rico style is the deeper pedestal shape used for garlic and plantain; and the garlic press sits beside them as the one-handed alternative. Each model is offered in several sizes, and each size is its own reference.
Size is the whole buying decision here. A small mortar is a spice tool — peppercorns, cumin, saffron — and lives on a counter or sells as a gift. A large one is a working piece for pesto, garlic paste, guacamole and spice blends, and a professional kitchen will choose it by how much it holds rather than by how it looks. The size table on each product page gives length and width in metric and imperial, so a buyer can match the bowl to the task before ordering. Every piece is finished the same way as the rest of the catalogue, with natural mineral oil and beeswax, and re-oiled in service like any other olive wood tool.

Two, usually: a small one and a large one. The small sizes are spice tools and gift items; the large ones are working mortars for pesto, garlic and spice blends, which is what a professional kitchen buys. The size table on each product page gives length and width for every size, and each size is a separate SKU with its own minimum.
The model name answers it: the models named mortar and pestle are supplied as a pair, and the ones named as a mortar are the bowl alone. The garlic press is a separate tool with its own reference. If you want a combination the catalogue does not list as one model, ask in the quote request and it is priced as the two lines it is.
Like the rest of the catalogue: finished with natural mineral oil and beeswax, wiped rather than soaked, and re-oiled from time to time. Strong spices can tint the inside of a working mortar over time, which is normal in a natural material. The care guide in the Journal is written for the staff who use it and for the customers who buy it.
