Measuring 30g 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, 30 Grams (30g) translates to 0.14 US cups (2 tbsp + ¾ tsp). By contrast, using the standard refined olive oil measure (216g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 30g occupies 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp (0.14 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp (2.22 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.
