How this works
Olive oil has a density of about 0.913 g/mL (usda fooddata central). That means 1 mL of olive oil weighs 0.913 grams.
Grams = teaspoons × 4.5001
Note: Extra virgin or refined; both within 0.91-0.92 g/mL.
Why a cup of olive oil doesn't always weigh the same
Volume measurements are forgiving in some ways and brutal in others. A cup of olive oil can vary by 10-20% in weight depending on how it's measured: spooned vs scooped, packed vs loose, sifted vs unsifted. The density figure used here matches the most common published recipe conventions, but if you're after baking precision, weighing on a kitchen scale is more accurate than measuring by volume.
