Starbucks announces the addition of new beverage concoctions to its store menu in Italy. It is launching drinks with olive oil in every cup, and this could also be released in the United States this coming springtime.
Starbucks coffee chain is debuting this new line of drinks with drops of extra virgin olive oil. It was explained that the new beverages were not simply flavored with olive oil, but each one is truly made with a spoonful of the precious oil obtained from olives.
It is also not just a hint of olive oil taste in a cup, but Starbucks carefully infused this ingredient into its beverages to create a flavorful new taste. This will also add 120 calories to the drinks.
According to CNN Business, Starbucks is introducing three beverages under its olive oil line this week, and they will be available in its stores located in Italy. The new range has been named the Oleato line, and there are three flavors under it and these are the Oleato Caffe Latte, Oleato Golden Foam Cold Brew, and Oleato Ice Shaken Espresso, which will come in oat milk, olive oil, and hazelnut flavors.
Other versions of these beverages are coming to the U.S., in Southern California, to be more exact. Details about the U.S. release have yet to be posted by the global coffee chain brand.
“When creating the beverages, we were inspired by the rich history and origin stories of coffee and olive oil – two of nature’s most transcendent ingredients,” Starbucks principal beverage developer, Amy Dilger, said in a press release. “Infusing Starbucks coffee with olive oil yielded a velvety smooth, rich texture, with the buttery, round flavors imparted by the olive oil perfectly pairing with the soft, chocolatey notes of the coffee.”
She added, “One thing that’s special about Partanna’s olives is their uniquely nutty, slightly sweet flavors - think of that rich smoothness of a buttery caramel, it’s a natural complement to our coffee. Whether you enjoy Oleato hot or cold, you get this really luxurious, textural experience.”
