Almond is one of the important fruit types for the nuts and cosmetics industry. At this stage, the selection of cultivars to be grown according to their intended use is important, and new cultivars are being bred accordingly. In this study, the physical and chemical properties of fruits of ‘Ferragnes’, ‘Ferraduel’ and ‘Nonpareil’ cultivars as well as ‘Sıra’, ‘Ak’ and ‘Nurlu’ genotypes were examined. The ‘Nurlu’ genotype was found to have higher values than other cultivars and genotypes in terms of fruit weight and dimensions. While ‘Sıra’ genotype stood out in terms of microelements (iron, manganese), ‘Nurlu’ genotype stood out in terms of macroelements (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium). The highest amounts of lineloeic and oleic acids (10.07 and 68.71%, respectively) were obtained in the ‘Ferragnes’ cultivar, and the highest oil content was obtained in the ‘Sıra’ genotype (60.09%). In terms of phenolic compounds, the ‘Nonpareil’ cultivar, which has the highest content of catechin (45.51 mg kg−1) and o‑coumaric acid (2.52 mg kg−1), gained value. When the relationships of all traits were examined, it was determined that ‘Nurlu’ genotype and ‘Ferragnes’ cultivar were independent from others. In this study, it was determined that genotypes have superior characteristics compared to cultivars, and it was observed that they can guide growers in the cultivar selection stage in orchard establishment.
