How Does Olive Oil Coffee Taste?
The drink was slightly nutty and buttery, but I quickly grew tired of the grassy olive oil flavor.

Ill stick to black coffee and save my olive oil for salad dressings and roasted veggies.
But what do nutrition experts think of this olive oil coffee trend?
Do the health benefits outweigh the subpar taste?
Should You Add Olive Oil To Your Coffee?
Keep in mind that a spoonful of olive oil also adds 120 calories to the coffee.
Assuming no displacement by other foods or beverages, this could result in weight gain, Lichtenstein said.
Consider adding olive oil to your salad dressing or replacing butter with olive oil when cooking instead.
