French beverage, dairy, patisserie and ice cream manufacturers know exactly what they want from a raw material partner: rigorous specifications, complete dossiers and a supplier who answers in their language. Scala Nuova supplies Fruit Shells to French manufacturers and importers from Türkiye — with a commercial presence in Paris, so your buying team has a French-speaking contact in your own time zone.
Compliance is EU-native: products are specified against EU General Food Law (Regulation 178/2002) and harmonized EU maximum residue levels, with per-lot traceability and COA structured for the documentation standards French authorities (DGAL, DGCCRF) enforce. Quality systems across the chain operate to IFS — the reference French retail audits ask for — alongside FSSC 22000, BRC and ISO 22000, with Halal, Kosher and EU organic options.
Logistics run two ways: sea freight from Istanbul or Mersin to Marseille-Fos in roughly 8 to 12 days — France's Mediterranean gateway is one of the closest EU ports to Türkiye — with Le Havre serving the north in 12 to 16 days; or full-truck reefer over the Balkan corridor reaching most French plants in 5 to 7 days. Aseptic drums travel ambient; IQF fruit moves at -18°C door-to-door. Send us your fruit list and annual volumes for a delivered-France quotation in EUR.
Scala Nuova supplies frozen natural fruit shells as ready-to-fill serving vessels for foodservice, patisserie and ice-cream makers: hollowed pineapple, coconut, orange and melon shells. Cleaned and frozen ready to fill with ice cream, sorbet, mousse and plated desserts, they give gelaterias, restaurants, HORECA and dessert manufacturers a striking, sustainable, biodegradable natural presentation. Supplied frozen in whole and half formats to specification, each lot with COA and full specification.
Fruit Shells moves to France under an unbroken cold chain: the product travels in reefer containers from our facility to your cold store, never leaving its temperature band. On this lane that makes reefer capacity and plug-in time at the port — not sailing frequency — the things to plan a programme around.
