Measuring 300g 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, 300 Grams (300g) translates to 1.39 US cups (1 ⅓ cups + 2 ¾ tsp). By contrast, using the standard refined olive oil measure (216g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 300g occupies 1 ⅓ cups + 2 ¾ tsp (1.39 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ⅓ cups + 2 ¾ tsp (22.22 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.
