[Starbucks UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-oleato) has introduced three new Oleato drinks, featuring 'Partanna Extra Virgin Olive Oil' to enhance the coffee experience with a smooth and refined texture; this infusion adds a unique layer of flavor to each drink, offering a distinctive twist on traditional coffee.

The 'Oleato Golden Foam Cold Brew' pairs a rich [cold brew](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muscat-grape-cold-brew) with cold foam enriched with olive oil, creating a subtly sweet profile with a distinct aroma. The 'Oleato Caffe Latte' on the other hand, "blends Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast with Partanna Extra Virgin Olive Oil and [steamed oat drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/califia-farms-oat-barista-blend), resulting in a smooth and rich latte experience."

Additionally, the 'Oleato Iced Shaken Espresso' combines "espresso with notes of toasted nuts, oat drink, and olive oil infusion, offering a balanced, layered flavor." These drinks provide a new way to enjoy coffee, highlighting the unique blend of olive oil with familiar Starbucks offerings.
