Spice alert ! De Cobrançosa is de meest pittige en scherpe van de oliën. Het is een zeer kruidige olie met zowel onrijpe als rijpe fruitsmaken. Heel mooie aroma’s en vrij complex, een uitstekende compagnon om vlees en vinaigrettes op smaak te brengen.

De Producer
Awards

Monterosa Olive Oil has its origin in the 20 hectares of olive groves in Algarve, Portugal. They produce 5 Premium oils, following a certified Best Practices system that assures respect for the environment and the consumer.

1969

It all began in 1969 with Detlev von Rosen moving from Sweden to Portugal in order to produce Iceberg Salad, Tomatoes and Dill during the winter months for the northern European markets where these, until then, had been available only in summer. The mild climate of the Algarve region was ideal for this.

1972

It was a success but due to difficulties in getting the products to London, Hamburg and Gothenburg, production quickly changed towards ornamental plants in 1972. There was an emerging market for these and they could handle longer transportation times than fresh vegetables. The activity prospered over the years to become one of the important ornamental plants nurseries in Europe.

2000

The olives came later, by chance. The olive tree, which needs little irrigation, substituted an orange grove, as a consequence of several dry years. Olive trees have been present in the Algarve for thousands of years but in modern times the tradition of making olive oil has almost been lost. In 2000 we challenged ourselves, to produce a premium olive oil in Algarve.
