For the autumn, Olive Garden is introducing an all-new fall latte that is made with some of the most comforting flavors of the season. The Caramel Apple Butter Latte is prepared with a base of Lavazza espresso and steamed milk that is blended with caramel apple butter and a sprinkling of cinnamon to top it all off. The result is an indulgent latte that is comparable to a drinkable dessert.
Although there are many companies and cafes that are just now releasing spiced pumpkin refreshments to keep foodies warm throughout the fall and winter, this autumnal latte offers a refreshing take on consumer favorite seasonal flavors.
This fall, Olive Garden is also expanding its fall menu with Pumpkin Cheesecake.
