Starbucks adds olive oil to coffee
In Italy, Starbucks is launching a new range of beverages that combine arabica coffee with Partanna extra virgin olive oil. The ‘Oleato’ brand is a ‘smooth’ and ‘delicately’ sweet offering available in caffe latte, shaken espresso, and cold brew varieties, amongst others.
For Starbucks interim CEO Howard Schults, Oleato represents the ‘next revolution’ in coffee… “Oleato has opened our eyes to fresh new possibilities and a transformational way to enjoy our daily coffee.”
Starbucks will begin to introduce the beverages in select markets around the world, starting with Southern California in the US, then later on this year, Japan, the Middle East and the UK.
