Extra Virgin Olive Oil Source Review: USDA 100g, Tablespoons, and Tracking
Reviewed May 21, 2026. This page keeps olive oil tied to the 884-calorie 100g food-composition reference while translating it into teaspoon and tablespoon servings people actually use.
- The 884 kcal value is shown per 100g so the page matches USDA-style food-composition searches and stays comparable with other oils and fats.
- A tablespoon is about 13.5g and roughly 119 calories, so cooking pours and salad dressings should be measured when calorie precision matters.
- Milliliters and grams are not interchangeable for oil; density means 100ml weighs less than 100g, so the page labels the reference as 100g.
- Extra virgin, light, blended, flavored, and restaurant oils have similar calorie density but can differ in label serving size, quality markers, and added ingredients.
