How to convert tablespoons of olive oil to grams
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of olive oil weighs about 216 g, so one tablespoon is 14 g and 1/2 × 14 = 6.8 g.
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil?
1/2 tablespoon of olive oil is 6.8 grams, based on 216 g per level US cup.
Is a tablespoon the same everywhere?
Almost. US and UK tablespoons hold about 15 ml and teaspoons about 5 ml. Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so use ¾ of an Australian tablespoon to match a US one.
Should I weigh olive oil or measure it by volume?
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
