Oleaster (Olea europaea var. sylvestris), or the wild olive tree, has great interest as a source of genetic material for olive breeding programs. Nevertheless, information about its oil composition is scarce. In the present work, the characterization of oleaster fruit morphology and oil chemical composition from three different tree populations in Northeastern Portugal (Moncorvo, Alijó and Vila Nova de Foz Côa) was performed. The three studied populations presented some morphological differences in the fruits, but similar oil chemical composition. Oleic acid (68.9–70.6%) was the most abundant fatty acid. High variability was observed in total tocopherol content, ranging between 263 and 503 mg/kg. Additionally, high amounts of total sterols were found, from 1742 to 2198 mg/kg of oil. A rich composition in phenols was found with 14 phenolic compounds identified. The evaluated parameters for oleander oils allowed discriminating the oils according to the geographical origin and were consistent with those commonly found in olive oil, showing that they are particularly rich in antioxidants and can be exploited in breeding programs to increase the amounts of bioactive compounds in cultivated oils.

The cultivated Olea europaea L., or olive tree, is an ancient crop extremely relevant for the bioeconomy of Mediterranean countries, especially for Portugal. With orchard modernization, Portugal has the potential to become the third-largest producer of olive oil over the next decade. In this country, the main national variety is ‘Galega vulgar,’ characterized by an excellent olive oil quality, rusticity and tolerance to drought. Nevertheless, its production has suffered a reduction due to replacement by foreign varieties. The present narrative review offers an overall perspective of present gaps and challenges to the conservation and use of ‘Galega vulgar.’ Existing information about traditional and innovative olive production systems, and the importance of life cycle thinking approaches for a sustainable olive chain were synthesized, focusing particularly in the last 10 years. Furthermore, the olive molecular characterization advances and their breeding importance were also evaluated considering their application to this Portuguese variety. To ensure an efficient and sustainable exploitation of the ‘Galega vulgar,’ we propose that efforts should concentrate on the characterization of the existing variability and development of genotype to phenotype prediction tools, integrating detailed molecular marker genotypic and environmental characterization, to support better informed conservation and breeding decisions in a multi-environment context.
