Heard of people adding olive oil in their coffee? Let’s learn more about this unexpected combination!

Olive oil is typically associated with savory dishes and salad dressings, while coffee is cherished for its robust flavors and stimulating properties. However, the combination of these two ingredients offers a delightful twist to your morning cup of joe.

Advocates of adding olive oil to coffee argue that it creates a smoother, creamier texture, reminiscent of a latte, without the need for dairy or artificial creamers. This is particularly appealing to those who are lactose intolerant, following a dairy-free diet, or just seeking a lighter alternative. Olive oil's flavor profile helps create a unique and indulgent experience.

Olive oil contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. When combined with coffee, these fats can help slow down the absorption of caffeine, leading to a more gradual and prolonged release of energy. This can potentially reduce the jittery effects often associated with consuming coffee on an empty stomach, providing a smoother and more balanced experience.

To try this trend at home, start by brewing your preferred coffee using your preferred method. Once your coffee is ready, add a small amount of high-quality extra virgin olive oil like our Joy and Vitality to your cup. Start with a teaspoon or less and adjust according to your taste preferences. Gently stir the mixture to ensure the oil is well incorporated. Then, enjoy!
