Where 216 g comes from

USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup of “Oil, olive, salad or cooking” = 216 g. FDC 171413

King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Olive oil”): 200 g per cup. Chart

This page uses 216 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 16 g (7.41%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.

Olive oil weighs 216 g a cup in USDA's data, very close to other oils. King Arthur's ¼ cup at 50 g gives 200 g. For baking with olive oil, use a mild one.

How to measure olive oil by the cup

Use a liquid measuring jug on a flat surface and read the line at eye level, or weigh it: for liquids a scale is just as quick.
