Olive leaves are considered a promising source of bioactives such as phenolic compounds and mannitol. The extraction of high added value products is an issue of great interest and importance from the point of view of their exploitation. However, the content of these compounds can differ between cultivars and extraction methods. In this work, six olive leaves cultivars, including three wild cultivars, and two extraction processes (an innovative and alternative technique, pressurized liquid extraction, and a conventional Soxhlet extraction) were evaluated and compared towards the selective recovery of bioactive compounds. The wild cultivars showed the highest content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, being oleuropein the compound present in higher amount. Findings also revealed that the highest mannitol content in the extracts was observed with the commercial cultivars, specifically in Arbequina. It is thus possible to decide which cultivars to use in order to obtain the highest yield of each bioproduct.
