Starbucks on Tuesday unveiled a new line of coffee beverages that brings together the unexpected — Starbucks arabica coffee infused with a spoonful of Partanna cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil.
The coffee-giant said the result of the combination is a velvety smooth, delicately sweet and lush coffee that uplifts each cup with an extraordinary new flavor and texture.
Starbucks Oleato beverages that will be served in Starbucks stores around the world:
- Oleato™ Caffè Latte: Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast, a light roast that is smooth and subtly sweet, is infused with Partanna extra virgin olive oil and steamed with creamy oatmilk to create a velvety smooth, deliciously lush latte.
- Oleato™ Golden Foam™ Cold Brew: The inviting aroma of lush Partanna extra virgin olive oil infused cold foam cascades slowly through the dark, smooth cold brew, creating a subtle sweetness in the beverage.
- Oleato™ Iced Shaken Espresso: This coffee-forward beverage offers layers of flavor sweetened with notes of hazelnuts, rich espresso and creamy oatmilk infused with Partanna extra virgin olive oil.
“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,” said Dilger. “Whether you enjoy Oleato hot or cold, you get this really luxurious, textural experience.”
Starbucks will begin to introduce the beverages in the United States this spring.
