Bortonaggio Smooth Traditional Chimarrão Gourd
Description:
Traditional Gourd with Burned Spout
About the Product:
For a good chimarrão, in addition to a good bombilla and quality yerba mate, you need to choose the ideal gourd, the one that will best fit your daily routine. Whether you like drinking mate alone or with family, we have the gourd in the ideal size for you.
The gourd is made of porongo, which has a characteristic that other gourd materials do not: it is porous and absorbs the flavor of the yerba mate, adding a more special taste to the chimarrão.
As it is a natural product, it may vary in color, size, and weight.
The size varies from 13 to 15 cm.
This specific product is made of porongo with an epoxy base. The spout is burned to prevent impurities from penetrating the porongo.
How to Clean Your Gourd:
The gourd requires special care when cleaning to prevent mold from forming or it from imparting an unpleasant taste to the chimarrão itself.
After enjoying your mate, use a spoon to remove all the yerba mate used in the chimarrão, and wash the gourd thoroughly with plenty of water.
Then, remove the excess water with a towel and place it to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, without covering the spout.
How to Cure Your Gourd:
Everyone has their own way of enjoying their gourd, but we at Bortonaggio have a very easy way for you to do this. As soon as you receive your gourd, add two spoonfuls of yerba mate inside and fill it with water up to the spout. Leave it aside for a few hours, and that's it—just wash it and start using your new gourd.
