There's An Unexpected Ingredient In The New Starbucks Oleato Drink



Starbucks announced a new line of Oleato coffee drinks this week. But what does that mean exactly? The beverages combine coffee with a surprising ingredient: extra virgin olive oil. We're a bit skeptical about how good an olive oil-infused latte or cold brew could really be, but since EVOO is the gold standard for cooking, we're likely to give it a try when we can. Read more about Starbucks' latest innovations, and when you can try the new drinks for yourself.


What is Starbucks Oleato™?

Starbucks Oleato™ is a new line of Starbucks beverages that combines coffee with a spoonful of Partanna cold-pressed olive oil. The recipe reflects a tradition that's rooted in centuries of Italian history: enjoying a spoonful of olive oil on the daily for an uplifting experience.

What does Starbucks Oleato™ taste like?


Starbucks Stories describes the new Oleato™ drinks as "velvety smooth, delicate sweet and lush."

“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,” says Amy Dilger, principal beverage developer for Starbucks. “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.”

When will Starbucks Oleato™ be released?


The new beverages were released on February 22 in Italy. The Starbucks Reserve Roastery Milan will also bring a few more special Oleato™ drinks to customers on the same day.

Starbucks stores in Southern California will meet the olive oil-infused drinks this spring, with Japan, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom following suit later in 2023.

The Oleato™ Caffe Latte will be prepped with Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast, which combines with the Partanna olive oil to form a sweeter sip. The standard recipe will also default to oat milk, enhancing the subtle flavors and smooth texture even more.

Think of your standard cold foam cold brew, but instead, the foam is infused with a press of lush olive oil. The lighter notes of the foam will intertwine nicely with the darker tastes of Starbucks cold brew to deliver more sweetness.

The Oleato™ Iced Shaken Espresso puts light flavors of hazelnut, espresso and oat milk into one delicious drink.

Will there be more Starbucks Oleato™ drinks?


The Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Milan released a few special drinks for the release of the Oleato™ line, according to Starbucks:

  • Oleato™ Iced Cortado: Starbucks Reserve Espresso, demerara syrup, and a dash of orange bitters and oatmilk is infused with Partanna extra virgin olive oil. It is then served over ice and finished with an orange peel.
  • Oleato™ Deconstructed: An ode to the Italian tradition of combining olive oil with a squeeze of lemon. This beverage pairs Starbucks Reserve Espresso and Partanna extra virgin olive oil infused with a luxurious passionfruit cold foam.
  • Oleato™ Golden Foam™ Espresso Martini: Starbucks Reserve Espresso, vodka and vanilla bean syrup topped with golden foam – a fusion of fior di latte (sweet cream) and Partanna extra virgin olive oil.
