Opis produktu
Gourd Torpedo Premium "Exclusivo" Marron Martin Fierro with feet 140 ml
An outstanding gourd from Argentina with rich decoration - probably the highest-quality one that has appeared in our offer so far. It is a barrel-shaped gourd covered in leather dyed dark brown, with patterns hand-made directly on the leather. The beautifully decorated alpaca (nickel silver) virola with a floral motif cannot go unnoticed. The decorations are made by hand by a craftsman; this is not a mass-produced item. Only 1 piece of this product is available!
You could say that every gourd is unique, as it is impossible to find two identical pieces. Thanks to its leather covering, the Torpedo Premium Exclusivo does not burn your hands or heat up; it is sturdy and easy to hold. This premium gourd is carefully stitched: all four feet have been sewn, and the leather is carefully stretched and fitted to the gourd fruit.
In addition to the richly decorated collar, there are stylish engravings on the virola that give the gourd character and style. There are also two decorated bronze bands that slightly break up the tones of the silver alpaca and the brown leather. The whole is completed by a decorated base and four alpaca balls - this gourd is a true masterpiece, a work of art.
The gourd is made by a new brand in our offer, Martin Fierro Mates. It operates in Argentina, and its products are known for high quality, solid workmanship and attention to detail. The gourd has a capacity of about 140 ml, just right for a small serving of any yerba lasting a few hours.
With gourds, seasoning (curing) the vessel is important. With each use we season the gourd, so that more and more of the flavour and aroma of successive servings and refills stays in its structure. However, remember that after a day of use the gourd needs time to dry properly (at least 24 h in a warm, airy place) to avoid a build-up of excess moisture, which can lead to mould over time and make the gourd unusable.
As this is a natural product, it may have slight discolouration inside, which is completely normal.
Before first use, we recommend the so-called curado process, i.e. preparing the matero (mate gourd) for use. First, fill it with hot water up to below the metal virola, leave it for a few dozen minutes at most and pour the water out. Then put yerba into the gourd, pour in water at up to 80 degrees Celsius, again below the virola, and leave it for another 20-30 minutes. A good idea is to add aromatic herbs such as lemongrass or peppermint along with the yerba, which will enrich the inside of the gourd with their aroma.
After this seasoning, empty the gourd of the remaining yerba, rinse it thoroughly, dry the inside with a paper towel and leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. The process can be repeated. This way we do not have to worry about possible unwanted effects (stomach problems), and we season the gourd so that it serves us for as long as possible and preparing yerba mate in it brings nothing but joy.
We recommend avoiding prolonged contact of the leather covering with water or soaking it. The gourd itself is best used for 3-4 hours during a given day, then emptied, rinsed, wiped well and left to dry for at least 24 hours.
The manufacturer recommends always filling the gourd with yerba and water below the point where the metal virola meets the gourd.
