Why We Love It
This is traditional Mexican molinillo-making at its absolute finest – the kind that makes you stop and notice the difference.

Each molinillo is hand-turned and carved from a single piece of sustainably-sourced alder wood by artisans with over 50 years of experience. The intricate carved rings are shaped entirely by hand, then decorated with dark accents carefully burned into the wood. The result is impeccably smooth with not a single splinter or rough edge – just flawless craftsmanship that comes from decades of devoted practice.

This molinillo is crafted for daily use and meant to be treasured forever. Whether you're whisking hot chocolate the traditional way or it's living on your counter as a beautiful kitchen essential, this is craft that elevates the everyday.
