Olive oil, Cups to Grams & Grams to Cups
1 cup of olive oil = 216 grams · 100g = 0.46 cups
Olive oil weighs about 216 grams per cup, marginally less than neutral vegetable oil because of its slightly different fatty-acid makeup. Extra-virgin and refined olive oils weigh essentially the same; the difference between them is flavour and smoke point, not density. Like all oils it is measured as a liquid.

How to measure olive oil accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh olive oil on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of olive oil weighs about 216 grams (7.62 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts olive oil and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Reserve fruity extra-virgin olive oil for dressings and finishing, where its flavour shows; use lighter refined olive oil for high-heat cooking.
