Brass Salt Mill 8" - Handcrafted in Europe

Some pieces earn a permanent place on your counter. This is one of them.

Handcrafted in Europe from natural, unlacquered brass, our 8" Salt Mill is a kitchen staple that doubles as a design object. The open-bottom design and long brass arm make it effortless to grind directly over your food — no fumbling, no mess. Adjust the grind from coarse to fine to suit whatever you're seasoning.

Unlike lacquered alternatives, this mill is meant to live and breathe. It arrives bright and polished, and over time develops a warm, organic patina unique to your kitchen and your hands. It's the kind of object that looks better at five years than it does on day one.

Complete the set — pair with the Brass Pepper Mill for a counter vignette that's as functional as it is considered.

Care

The mill handle is stored inside the body. Unscrew the nut at the top of the mill, remove the cap, take out the handle, fill and then replace the cap. Put the handle on top of the mill and screw the nut down tight. Prior to first use, we recommend cleaning the mechanism by grinding a small quantity through the mill and discarding. Never wash or submerge the mill in water, as water will corrode the mechanism.

The outside of the mill will naturally oxidize and develop a patina over time through use and exposure to salt, moisture, and other environmental factors. However, if users wish to retain a bright, as-new polished look, ordinary metal cleaners can be used with a soft cloth to polish the outside of the mill. When refilling salt mills, use a dry cloth to wipe away any salt residue around the grinder cap and the body. The salt residue may cause oxidation if left on the body.

All mills listed as Pepper Mills, are made for pepper, but can also grind dry spices. Generally, it is not recommended to grind spices with a soft core or large peppercorns in these mills. Don’t use salt in the pepper mill or pepper in the salt mill. They are manufactured specifically for their type of spice. It is also not recommended to use “wet” or “grey” sea salt, or salt flakes in the salt mill because it will clog the mechanism.
