About Olive Oil Density

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.

Pro tip: For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale. Weight measurements eliminate the variability of cup measurement entirely. USDA values shown are based on the spooned & leveled method.
