Qatar imports the overwhelming majority of its food, and demand from its hospitality, HORECA and manufacturing sectors keeps climbing. Scala Nuova supplies Fruit Shells to Qatari buyers from Türkiye — a short flight and a direct sea lane away, with an Arabic-speaking commercial desk and documentation built for Gulf import from day one.
Halal is the baseline, not an extra: products carry recognized Halal certification alongside quality systems running to FSSC 22000, IFS, BRC and ISO 22000, with per-lot COA and traceability. Documentation is prepared for Qatar's Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) import controls and GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) requirements, including Arabic label data, shelf-life rules and certificate legalization where required.
Containers loading in Mersin or Istanbul reach Hamad Port in roughly 12 to 18 days by sea; for high-value freeze-dried lines, air freight from Istanbul is available for fast, small-volume programs. Aseptic drums travel ambient, IQF fruit at -18°C with unbroken cold chain, and Qatar Free Zone re-export programs are supported. Ramadan and event-season peaks are planned in advance — send your product list and annual volumes for a delivered quotation.
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 Qatar 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.
