Vidala Mate Gourd

A tribute to raw tradition and artisanal craftsmanship.

Named after the deep, earthy folk songs of Northern Argentina, The Vidala Gourd is a piece of living history. This vessel captures the rugged elegance of the countryside, designed for the matero who appreciates authenticity and handmade details.

The core of this gourd is carved from solid Algarrobo (Carob) wood, a noble and dense material celebrated for durability and its ability to subtly enhance the flavor profile of your yerba mate over time. Fully encasing the exterior is a stunning "armour" of hand-chiseled aluminum, featuring rustic floral motifs crafted by traditional metalworkers and topped with a distinctly textured metal rim. With its classic rounded silhouette and sturdy flat base, The Vidala rests perfectly in the palm of your hand or on your table, offering a deeply grounding and traditional mate experience.

Why it’s the smart choice:

• Premium Algarrobo Wood: Solid wood interior that naturally seasons over time, enhancing the taste of your daily brew.

• Full Hand-Chiseled Armour: Entirely wrapped in beautifully embossed aluminum for a seamless, rustic look and exceptional durability.

• Textured Metal Rim: Features a unique, diagonally scored flat rim that adds character and a secure resting place for your bombilla.

• Ergonomic Tradition: The classic rounded shape feels natural and heavy in your hand, while the flat resting base adds modern convenience.

A Note on Artisanal Authenticity: Because every Vidala Gourd is 100% handcrafted, no two pieces are exactly alike. The hand-chiseled motifs on the aluminum armor and the natural grain of the Algarrobo wood will vary, making your gourd a unique masterpiece. Embrace these subtle differences—they are the spirit of the northern artisans, ensuring that your mate ritual is as individual as the song it’s named after.

*Please note: This product includes the artisan mate gourd only. The bombilla (straw) is sold separately.
