Sources & how they compare
| Source | Reported value | Comparable source-cup value | Type | Measurement method | Adopted here | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDA FoodData Central — Oil, olive, salad or cooking (FDC 171413)FDC ID: 171413 | 216 g/1 source cup (exact volume unknown) | 216g | Direct | liquid household cup | Adopted | 2026-08-05 |

A comparable source-cup value only scales a half-cup or tablespoon serving to one source cup. When a source does not state the cup's exact volume, we do not present it as a fixed-milliliter normalization.
Measurement notes
- Olive oil is lighter than water, and temperature and cultivar can shift density slightly.
- Use a liquid measuring cup on a level surface and read the meniscus at eye level.
- Extra-virgin and refined olive oils are close enough for ordinary recipes but may not weigh identically.
Common mistakes
- Not measuring olive oil the recommended way — poured into a liquid measuring cup at room temperature — is one of the most common sources of error.
- Assuming 1 cup of olive oil equals 240g like water — it is actually 216g per US cup.
- Measuring cold, hard butter by volume instead of letting it soften first.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 100 grams of olive oil?
100 grams of olive oil is about 0.46 cups, based on 1 US cup (240 ml) = 216g.
How many grams are in 1 cup of olive oil?
1 US cup of olive oil is about 216 grams, measured poured into a liquid measuring cup at room temperature.
Does 1 cup of olive oil weigh the same in a metric cup?
No. A metric cup (250 ml) holds slightly more than a US cup (240 ml), so 1 metric cup of olive oil is about 225g, compared with 216g in a US cup.
What's the best way to measure olive oil accurately?
For the most accurate result, poured into a liquid measuring cup at room temperature, and use a kitchen scale when your recipe calls for a precise weight.
Can I convert cups of olive oil back to grams?
Yes, use the Cups to Grams tool with olive oil selected to convert any cup amount back into grams.
Why does olive oil convert differently from other ingredients?
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the conversion depends on how dense olive oil is. A cup of olive oil weighs 216g, while a denser or lighter ingredient weighs a different amount per cup.
