Measuring 85g 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, 85 Grams (85g) translates to 0.39 US cups (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp). By contrast, using the standard refined olive oil measure (216g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 85g occupies ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp (0.39 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp (6.3 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.
