Starbucks continues to push the boundaries of coffee culture, expanding the distribution of its divisive Oleato coffee, infused with olive oil, to additional stores nationwide. Despite sparking controversy due to its unique ingredient and higher calorie content, the beverage line has seen surprising popularity since its launch in March.
CNN Business reported that the Oleato beverage is one of the biggest new products that Starbucks has ever launched in recent years. Thus, while it is still a hot item and considered controversial due to its “oily” ingredient, the company is bringing it to more states and cities.
Starbucks Coffee released the Oleato line of drinks in March, and negative reviews poured in, but this has not deterred the company from releasing the product to more locations. In fact, the reviews, both negative and positive, have pushed Oleato coffee drinks to popularity in the U.S.
Starting this week, the Oleato drinks will be available in more states, including Alaska and Vermont. On the menu board for the said product line, there is also an option for an oat milk latte. A toffee nut, iced shaken espresso, and golden foam. Each one of these beverages is served with one spoon of olive oil, increasing the calorie content by an additional 120.
Starbucks said in its announcement, “Starting June 6, Oleato beverages are now available for customers to enjoy at select company operated Starbucks stores in 11 new states across the U.S., Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont, and major cities such as Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and Miami.”
The company added that the “beverages are also available at additional Starbucks locations in New York, Illinois, California and Washington state, where the beverages made their U.S. debut in March.”
