On Feb. 21, the coffee company announced their new“arabica coffee deliciously infused with Partanna cold pressed extra virgin olive oil,” per a press release.
The unexpected fusion is described as “velvety smooth, delicately sweet, and lush coffee that uplifts each cup with an extraordinary new flavor and texture.”Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast and Partanna extra virgin olive oil steamed with oat milk: Starbucks Blonde Roast Espresso, hazelnut syrup and oat milk shaken with Partanna extra virgin olive oil and ice.
“In 1983, I took my first trip to Italy and discovered the extraordinary relationship that the Italian people have with the Italian coffee bar, and specifically espresso. I raced back to the United States with a vision and a passion to bring that to Starbucks,” Schultz said in aAfter visiting Sicily and seeing how people would take a spoonful of olive oil each day, he decided to try the two together and thus his new creation was made.
“I was absolutely stunned at the unique flavor and texture created when the Partanna extra virgin olive oil was infused into Starbucks coffee,” Schultz said. “In both hot and cold coffee beverages, what it produced was an unexpected, velvety, buttery flavor that enhanced the coffee and lingers beautifully on the palate.”
While the new coffee-meets-olive-oil drinks will only be available in Italy, Starbucks plans to introduce Oleato in select cities around the world, starting with Southern California in the spring.
