In Monterosa's Algarve interpretation, it appears somewhat rounder than its Andalusian sister, with finer minerality due to the Atlantic climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to use this oil for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA robust all-rounder: over pasta, grilled vegetables, strong cheeses, bean stews, or bread with salt. Also well-suited for frying — Picual is considered one of the most heat-stable olive varieties. Its flavors also hold up in warm dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom the Monterosa House\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetlev von Rosen came from Sweden to the Algarve in 1969 and founded Viveiros Monterosa in 1972.
