With a rich, nutty, earthy flavour and hints of velvet, almond and walnut, our Organic Pioppino (Black Poplar) are a beautiful reflection of the stunning wilderness environment that surrounds us here at Deer Manor. Farmed with patience and care on our Scottish estate, our Organic Pioppinos take on a tender firmness when cooked.
