Measuring 250g 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, 250 Grams (250g) translates to 1.16 US cups (1 cup + 2 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp). By contrast, using the standard refined olive oil measure (216g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 250g occupies 1 cup + 2 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp (1.16 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 cup + 2 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp (18.52 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.
