The molcajete with its small counterpart, the tejolote, is the Aztec Blender - it crushes, shreds, tears, grinds making it the ultimate flavor extractor for salsas, moles, and spices. Hand carved from volcanic basalt rock, this pre-Hispanic mortar and pestle carries the flavor in its pores as it seasons every time you use it. Not only is it functional, it looks handsome on any kitchen countertop. ¡Buen provecho!
