Forget creamer — have you ever thought about mixing some olive oil in with your Starbucks? On Feb. 22, Starbucks Italy released a new line of drinks infused with Partanna cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil called Starbucks Oleato, and the new drinks hit the U.S. on March 23!

Starbucks Oleato drinks arrived at more U.S. Starbucks locations on June 6.
Starbucks Reserve locations in Chicago, Seattle, and New York started selling the Starbucks Oleato Caffe Latte, Oleato Golden Foam Cold Brew, and Oleato Iced Espresso drinks on March 23. That included the new Reserve locations in the Empire State Building, SoDo Seattle, Greenwich Lane in NYC, and the original Starbucks in Seattle’s Pike Place Market.
On March 27 Starbucks started serving these Starbucks drinks in stores across Seattle and Los Angeles, where they’re also selling Partanna cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil for your home.
June 6 saw the release of of the Oleato drinks at 11 new states in the U.S. You’ll be able to find them in Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont. Plus, they are expanding to major cities such as Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and Miami.
Some Oleato drinkers have reported upset stomachs.
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says Oleato drinkers can expect a “velvety, buttery flavor,” but some coffee drinkers have reported some more sour effects. Starbucks customers have taken to Twitter since the larger release of Oleato beverages, talking about unpleasant stomach issues as a result of drinking the new beverage. So — proceed with caution.
Create your own Starbucks olive oil-infused coffee at home.
While you might be tempted to pour a teaspoon of olive oil into your coffee, that isn’t how you can make olive oil coffee. Instead you should infuse your oat milk with olive oil by steaming, blending, or shaking it with oat milk. The exact amount of olive oil to use will depend on your personal taste preferences, but start with just a small amount, such as a teaspoon or less and adjust as needed.
According to the American Heart Association, a half-tablespoon of olive oil a day can decrease the risk of heart disease, and it’s linked to improving digestion and reducing inflammation. Plus the olive oil in coffee will cut the acidity of the coffee and adds a nutty flavor.
