An Oleato is a line of coffee beverages from Starbucks that brings together Starbucks arabica coffee and Partanna cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil. The result is a velvety smooth, delicately sweet, and lush coffee that uplifts each cup with an extraordinary new flavor and texture. The Oleato line includes several beverages, such as:
-
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™ Iced Shaken Espresso: This coffee-forward beverage offers layers of flavor sweetened with notes of hazelnut, rich espresso, and creamy oatmilk infused with Partanna extra virgin olive oil.
-
Oleato™ Golden Foam™ Cold Brew: Starbucks Reserve® Cold Brew lightly sweetened with vanilla bean syrup, finished with Partanna extra virgin olive oil infused cold foam, creating an inviting aroma and subtle sweetness in the beverage.
The Oleato line was launched in Italy in February 2023 and is now available in select Starbucks stores in 15 states across the U.S. and 8 markets around the world, including Italy, U.S., Japan, UK, France, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait. However, some customers have reported stomach issues after drinking Oleato beverages, and some reviewers have criticized the taste and high calorie content of the drinks.
