Related to Olive Oil
Vegetable Oil
The neutral swap for any recipe where olive oil's flavour is not the point. Vegetable oil is almost identical in weight (220 g vs 216 g per cup) and behaves the same in frying, dressings, and bakes, without the grassy, peppery notes of extra virgin. See our Vegetable Oil converter.
Butter
Butter brings a richer flavour and, when creamed, the air that lightens cakes, where olive oil keeps crumbs moist with a savoury note. To swap olive oil for butter, use a little more butter by weight (227 g vs 216 g per cup); our butter to oil converter gives the exact amount. See what 1 tablespoon of butter is in grams.
