The Netherlands punches far above its size in the fruit ingredient trade: Rotterdam is Europe's largest port, and Dutch importers, traders and distributors move raw material onward to manufacturers across the whole continent. Scala Nuova supplies Fruit Shells to Dutch buyers from Türkiye — in programs built for both processors covering their own production and trading houses that redistribute across the EU.
Compliance is EU-native from the start: 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 NVWA-supervised import controls. Quality systems across the chain operate to FSSC 22000 — the standard born in the Netherlands — alongside IFS, BRC and ISO 22000, with Halal, Kosher and EU organic options. Because one EU clearance covers onward sales across the single market, complete documentation matters double for re-export business, and ours is built for it.
Containers loading in Istanbul or Mersin reach Rotterdam in roughly 12 to 16 days, and from there barge, rail and truck connections cover the entire European hinterland; full-truck reefer over the Balkan corridor reaches the Netherlands in 5 to 7 days as the fast option. Aseptic drums travel ambient; IQF fruit moves at -18°C door-to-door — including delivery into bonded or third-party cold stores in the Rotterdam area.

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 Netherlands 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.
