The coffee chain Starbucks has launched a new specialty: espresso, caffè latte & co. with a dash of olive oil.

Coffee with a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil – can it taste good and what is it supposed to do? It has not yet been scientifically proven whether the olive oil in coffee is healthy. There is little to be said for it, simply because the heat of the drink destroys many valuable ingredients such as the cell-protecting antioxidants. But as always, what tastes good is allowed.
