Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of olive oil weighs about 228 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring olive oil accurately
Use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and view the measurement line at eye level for accuracy. Olive oil thickens slightly when cold, which can affect how cleanly it pours from the cup. Weighing olive oil in grams ensures you add the exact amount needed.
