Russia is one of the largest fruit-ingredient markets in the region, and Türkiye is among its closest and most established suppliers. Scala Nuova serves Russian processors, importers and distributors with a Russian-speaking commercial desk — supplying both the Turkish-origin fruits Russia buys in volume and the tropical lines its own growers cannot produce.

That tropical gap is the core of the business: mango, passion fruit, pineapple, coconut, guava and banana in puree, concentrate and IQF form are not grown domestically, so juice, dairy, confectionery and HORECA manufacturers rely on import. Compliance is built for the EAEU from the start — products specified against the relevant Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR TS), with EAC conformity, GOST alignment, per-lot COA and traceability, and documentation prepared for Rosselkhoznadzor and Rospotrebnadzor controls.

Logistics are unusually short: containers cross the Black Sea from Turkish ports to Novorossiysk in roughly 3 to 6 days — one of the fastest lanes we run — with road transport via Georgia as an alternative for certain routes. Aseptic drums travel ambient, IQF fruit at -18°C with unbroken cold chain. Invoicing in EUR or USD per agreement. 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 to Russia — shipping lane

Fruit Shells moves to Russia 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your Fruit Shells meet EAEU (EAC/GOST) import requirements for Russia?

Yes — products are specified against the relevant Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR TS), with EAC conformity, GOST alignment, per-lot COA and traceability. Documentation is prepared for Rosselkhoznadzor and Rospotrebnadzor import controls, and quality systems run to FSSC 22000, IFS, BRC and ISO 22000.

How long is transit to Russia, and via which port?

Containers cross the Black Sea from Turkish ports to Novorossiysk in roughly 3–6 days — one of the shortest lanes we operate. Road transport via Georgia is available as an alternative. Aseptic drums travel ambient; IQF fruit moves at -18°C door-to-door.

Can you supply tropical fruits that aren't grown in Russia?

Yes — this is the core of our Russian business. Mango, passion fruit, pineapple, coconut, guava and banana in puree, concentrate and IQF form are supplied from tropical origins, alongside Turkish-origin apricot, sour cherry, pomegranate and berries.

What currency do you invoice in, and what is the minimum order?

Invoicing in EUR or USD per agreement. Full containers (20ft/40ft) are the commercial standard, but first orders often start with a few pallets by groupage for quality validation, followed by annual harvest-to-harvest contracts.

Is Fruit Shells shipped to Russia in a reefer or a dry container?

Fruit Shells moves to Russia 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.
