Why Does Olive Oil Weigh Less Than Water?
Olive oil has a lower density than water. One milliliter of water weighs approximately one gram, while one milliliter of olive oil weighs about 0.91 grams.
This is also why olive oil floats on water and why 100 ml of olive oil does not weigh 100 grams.
Does the Type of Olive Oil Affect Its Weight?
Extra virgin, virgin and refined olive oils have very similar densities. Temperature and composition can produce small variations, but 0.91 grams per milliliter is a practical value for cooking.
