Inspired by vintage copper vessels collected by George Vanderbilt and displayed in the Banquet Hall at Biltmore House, the generously-sized serveware collection features hammered detailing that adds interest and texture to your table.
“Copper has always been highly-prized for its ability to conduct and retain heat evenly,” said Lydia Vandervoort, Biltmore For Your Home Licensing Director, noting that Biltmore’s original collection of well-used copper cookware still hangs in the estate’s Main Kitchen.
“Copper is beautiful as well as functional,” Lydia said. “It’s an important metallic element in home décor that blends well with existing colors, and it adds an earthy note of rustic elegance.”
Simplify holiday entertaining
To further simplify your holiday entertaining, Lydia suggests using the Copper Serveware to present Biltmore’s gourmet Vanilla Bean, Crème Brulee, and Italian Mascarpone Torta cheesecakes available at your local grocery stores.
“Biltmore cheesecakes are delicious by themselves, or you can also prepare simple toppings that give it a homemade touch,” Lydia said.
Add the toppings right before serving or place them in a small bowl beside the tray for people to drizzle on their own portion. Our favorite is our Cranberry Walnut Topping—rated 5-stars in reviews. Get the recipe here.
“If you are going to a party where there will be many types of desserts, you can easily cut the slices in half because the pre-sliced servings are so generous,” noted Lydia. “The cheesecakes freeze well and thaw in about 30–45 minutes so you can grab one and go. By the time you arrive at your party, it’s perfect for serving.”
