Bortonaggio Chimarrão Gourd with Metal Base and Burned Rim
Description:
Traditional Gourd with Metal Base and Burnt Rim
About the Product:
For a good chimarrão, in addition to a good bombilla and quality erva-mate, you need to choose the ideal gourd, the one that best fits your daily routine. If you enjoy your mate alone or with family, we have the perfect size gourd for you.
The porongo has a characteristic that other gourd materials do not possess: it is porous and absorbs the flavor of the erva-mate, adding a more special taste to the chimarrão.
As it is a natural product, it may have variations in color, size, and weight.
The size variation is from: 13 to 15 cm.
This specific product is made of porongo, with a stainless steel rim and a metal base.
How to clean your Gourd:
The gourd requires special care during cleaning to prevent mold or an unpleasant taste in the chimarrão itself.
After enjoying your mate, remove all the used erva-mate with a spoon and wash the gourd thoroughly with water.
Take it, remove excess water with a towel, and place it to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, and without covering its rim.
How to Cure your Gourd:
Everyone has a particular way of curing their gourd, but we at Bortonaggio have a very easy method for you. As soon as you receive your gourd, add two spoonfuls of erva-mate to the inside and fill it with water up to the rim. Leave it aside for a few hours, and then simply wash it and start using your new gourd.
