Starbucks wants you to give olive oil coffee a shot. Really.

The coffee chain is rolling out a new line of beverages made with extra virgin olive oil. To be clear, the drinks are not simply flavored with olive oil, nor do they have just a hint of it. Each one is truly made with a spoonful of oil, adding 120 calories to the total. With some drinks, you can see a slippery sheen of oil in the cup, and you don’t even have to squint. Three olive oil beverages are available for sale at Starbucks cafes in Italy starting this week.

“My Starbucks journey will come full circle when I return to Milan later this month to introduce something much bigger than any new promotion or beverage,” Schultz said during a February analyst call, teasing the new line. Speaking with CNN’s Harlow, he predicted that the new platform will “transform the coffee industry,” and be “a very profitable new addition to the company.

This is so old. The Spanish, especially, Andalucía have been doing this forever!! Nothing new ...

As someone who works at Starbucks…. Didn’t know this

Can't make it taste any worse than it already does

Latin people put cheese on their coffee

Well, true, I do wanna try it.

I’ve been to a couple of places in Italy where they still make olive oil like they did 800-900 years ago - when it was a drink. It was delicious. I couldn’t drink too much of it, thought still smooth.

YES! I’ve been taking shots of olive oil for YEARS!

Calorie loaded drink . I’ll pass.

It sounds like they are trying to appeal to the people of Italy considering they just opened the first Starbucks there in 2018 and are expanding. If you’ve ever been there you would know all the coffee places are little mom and pop stores that are not a chain.

Gross

How about they just try and make a coffee that tastes nice, something they haven’t been able to do for years.

🤮

Thought this was the onion

Pass…

gross 🤢

Starbucks: Our coffee is already undrinkable. What should we add to it to make it less appealing?

Good luck getting those oil stains out of your clothes…

this sounds so good, also will help ur brain function. win win

They jacked their prices and reward stars …soon they will loose many loyal customers! Tim has learned this quickly…lol

They should have used coconut oil. I put coconut oil in my coffee. But olive...?...? Just ?

Gross! Just… No!! 🤮
