Starbucks Launches Olive Oil-Infused Oleato Drinks Nationwide

Despite Mixed Reviews, Coffee Giant Adds Unique Beverage Line to Permanent Menu

Starbucks is launching its olive oil-infused drinks, known as the Oleato line, across all its stores in the U.S. and Canada, following a successful rollout in Italy and select U.S. locations.
The Oleato line was inspired by former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz's experience of the Mediterranean custom of consuming a spoonful of olive oil daily during a trip to Sicily.
The drinks, which include the Oleato Golden Foam Iced Shaken Espresso with Toffeenut and the Oleato Caffè Latte with Oatmilk, have received mixed reviews, with some customers reporting digestive issues.
Despite the mixed reviews, Starbucks has described the launch as one of its 'biggest' in decades and the drinks will now be a permanent fixture on the menu.
The Oleato drinks are made with Partanna extra virgin olive oil and can be customized with Oleato Golden Foam, a vanilla sweet cream cold foam infused with the olive oil.
