Starbucks' new Oleato range

We've all heard of people adding cream – and even butter – to their morning cup of coffee. But Starbucks' latest menu drop is taking things one step further: say hello to the olive oil-infused Oleato range. Recently launched in Italy, the new drinks, which include an oiled-up caffè latte, iced shaken espresso, and golden foam cold brew, are inspired by the popular Italian custom of indulging in a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil per day. Excited to try them? You won't have long to wait, as they'll be hitting US and UK shores later this year.
