Convert Cups to Grams: Olive Oil
Convert cups of olive oil to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of olive oil = 216g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because olive oil density can vary by measuring technique.

| 2/3 cup | 144g |
| 3/4 cup | 162g |
| 1 cup | 216g |
| 1 1/4 cups | 270g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 324g |
| 2 cups | 432g |
| 3 cups | 648g |
| 4 cups | 864g |
Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Olive oil is slightly lighter than vegetable oil. 1 cup = 216g. Extra virgin, virgin, and pure olive oil have the same density. Solidifies in the refrigerator — return to room temperature before measuring.
About Olive Oil Density
The density of olive oil determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.9g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of olive oil weighs 216g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of olive oil?
1 cup of olive oil weighs 216 grams (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method, 1 US cup = 240ml).
How many grams is 1/2 cup of olive oil?
1/2 cup of olive oil weighs 108 grams.
