About teaspoons Olive Oil (teaspoons)
Teaspoons of Olive Oil. Measured by US teaspoon (= 5 mL = 1/3 US tablespoon = 1/48 US cup per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The teaspoon is the standard US measure for small dry ingredients (salt, sugar, baking powder, spices) + small liquid amounts (vanilla extract, lemon juice). Common multiples: 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL), 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL), 1 tsp (5 mL). 'Heaping teaspoon' is informally ~50% more than level (can vary widely). Most US measuring-spoon sets include 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 1 tablespoon (= 3 tsp) increments. Olive oil is fat extracted from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea) — a foundational ingredient of Mediterranean cuisine for over 6,000 years. Grade classifications per International Olive Council (IOC) + EU Regulation 2568/91: Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO, free acidity ≤0.8%, cold-pressed mechanical extraction only, peroxide value ≤20 meq O₂/kg), Virgin Olive Oil (acidity ≤2.0%), Refined Olive Oil (chemically refined from defective batches), 'Pure'/'Olive Oil' (blend of refined + virgin). Density ~0.918 g/mL at 20°C. EVOO has smoke point ~190-210°C (374-410°F) — high enough for medium-heat sautéing but lower than refined olive oil (~242°C) for deep frying. Major producers: Spain (~45% of world supply, primarily Picual + Arbequina varieties), Italy (Toscano, Sicilian, Ligurian; PDO/PGI designations), Greece (Koroneiki), Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco. Health benefits include monounsaturated fat (oleic acid ~70%) + polyphenols (oleocanthal — anti-inflammatory). Brands range from Carapelli + Bertolli supermarket to single-estate California Olive Ranch. Density: 0.918 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About ounces Olive Oil (ounces)
Ounces of Olive Oil. Measured by US avoirdupois ounce (= 28.349523125 g exactly per NIST SP 811 — distinct from fluid ounce which is a volume unit). Mass-ounce measurement is preferred in US butcher/bakery/professional contexts where precision matters but the recipe uses imperial customary units. Common US baking ingredient packages list both ounces (mass) + grams: a stick of butter = 4 oz = 113 g; a 'pound' of flour = 16 oz = 454 g. CRITICAL: do NOT confuse with the troy ounce (~31.1 g — used only for precious metals) or the fluid ounce (volume unit = 29.57 mL).
