“I generally like the taste of olive oil, but I’ve never yearned to drink it. And I felt like I was drinking it.” — Li Goldstein
We started with the cold brew, topped with olive-oil-infused foam. On the nose, as the sommeliers like to say, it immediately smelled like a leafy salad—specifically a salad doused in a very oily vinaigrette. As the cold foam hit the tongue, I was immediately slammed with the potent, earthy taste of Partanna, as if the foam were composed of it exclusively. I generally like the taste of olive oil, but I’ve never yearned to drink it.
Would I order any of these coffees again? Maybe the hot latte, definitely not the others. At this point, I felt as though I consumed many tablespoons of olive oil . I started to feel vaguely nauseous, though it was difficult to disentangle the effects of the oil from the effects of excess caffeine rapidly entering my body. In any case, I wasn’t feeling my best.
And will Oleato change how people drink their coffee? Probably not. I’d be hard-pressed to envision it becoming a PSL-like fave. Maybe it’ll turn into a “secret” menu item, with stores outfitted with carafes of EVOO in case someone wants a pump of it. Undeterred by internal chaos, Starbucks will evidently keep churning out its gimmick of the day and then the next one. It’ll just be up to the fans to decide whether or not they want them.
