Measuring 25g of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of extra-virgin olive oil weighs 216g when measured poured liquid, 25 Grams (25g) translates to 0.12 US cups (⅛ cup). By contrast, using the standard refined olive oil measure (216g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 25g occupies ⅛ cup (0.12 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅛ cup (1.85 tablespoons total) using poured liquid technique. Pour steadily into a liquid measuring cup set flat on the counter, checking meniscus at eye level, or weigh on a gram scale.
