Thanks to coffee-giant Starbucks, you may have seen the latest craze sweeping the globe. Olive-oil-infused coffee is a new idea proposed by CEO Howard Schultz, who wanted to incorporate a once-daily serving of olive oil into his everyday diet.
At Presto®, we wanted to put our own "spin" on the trend. Using our Dorothy™ rapid cold-brewer, we've created our own infusion method, providing a cold-brewed alternative that offers the same benefits coffee drinkers look for in their daily diet.
What are the benefits?
One of them is the taste. As recommended, one tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil brings a smooth and slightly thicker texture for a lush, flavorful additive.
Health reasons are another potential benefit of the trend. Research by the American Heart Association suggests that olive oil, made up of heart-healthy fats, can help reduce bad cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. Additionally, its Vitamin E-rich nature helps reduce inflammation and boost immune function. Lastly, olive oil's coating properties line the stomach and slows caffeine absorption, extending each cup's "life." All in hopes of preventing the dreaded afternoon crash.
