Love and Quiches Goes Halal

Have a craving for quiche or desserts? Check out IFANCA-certified, Love and Quiches. Susan Axelrod set up shop in her small family kitchen thirty years ago. Today, her entire line of products is halal certified by IFANCA.

Synonymous not only with quiche, but also with her carefully selected, handcrafted line of desserts, the company began as a simple request from a loyal customer for pecan pie – one with that special home-baked taste Susan Axelrod’s quiches were known for. Using all-natural ingredients, including real butter and Georgia pecans, Susan developed her now famous recipe, baked the pies and then froze them to capture the just-baked flavor her customers requested.

Love and Quiches is a supplier to restaurants all over the world. Products are distributed throughout the U.S., as well as much of the Middle East and segments of Asia. Love and Quiches’ Director of International Sales, Mr. Elias Sejean, has offices in Dubai and is focused on expanding the distribution of Love and Quiches’ products throughout the world.

While the website is directed at foodservice professionals, there is a link on the home page to a mail order site with a select group of products available directly to consumers.
