Starbucks Expands Oleato Line Across the US and Canada

Nearly one year after the debut of Starbucks’ olive oil-infused coffee in Italy, the company has extended its Oleato line to all stores in the United States, reports the Olive Oil Times on January 30.  Starbucks has an estimated 15,873 stores in the US, 44% of its total globally.
