How to measure Olive oil by volume
- Measure in a liquid cup at eye level, or weigh it straight into the pan or bowl.
- For tablespoon amounts, 1 tbsp of olive oil is about 13.5 g.
Why the weight varies
Olive oil's density barely varies between styles; temperature changes the weight of a cup by only a few grams.
In dressings and emulsions, oil-to-acid ratios are what you are actually measuring, and small errors show up immediately in taste and texture. Weighing is also simply cleaner — no oily cup to wash.
Which value we publish, and why
We publish 216 g per US cup (USDA FoodData Central); King Arthur’s 50 g per ¼ cup scales to 200 g.
