Starbucks Is Ditching Olive Oil Coffee From Its ‘Overly Complex’ Menu
The viral olive oil-infused drinks that Starbucks introduced last year are on their way out as the company’s new CEO begins to revamp the coffee giant to turn around lagging sales.
The “Oleato” drinks will be removed from the menu in the U.S. and Canada early in November, Bloomberg News reported.
Bloomberg reported that Niccol, who can reportedly earn more than $100 million in his first year as CEO, wants to bring Starbucks back to its coffee roots and simply the “overly complex menu.”
There are currently two options: a latte infused with extra virgin olive oil and a toffee nut iced shaken espresso with “golden foam,” which is made with vanilla sweet cream infused with the extra virgin olive oil into a cold foam.
