Where to Buy El Mordjene in the USA

El Mordjene has gone from a breakfast favorite in Algeria to one of the most talked-about spreads online. If you have seen it on social media or grew up eating it, you may be wondering where to find it in America. Most regular supermarkets do not stock it, so online shopping is usually the easiest route.

At Casbah Market, you can buy El Mordjene hazelnut cocoa spread and other products from the Cebon range, delivered across the United States. This guide covers the different flavors, the various spellings you might see, and simple ways to enjoy it.

What Is El Mordjene?

El Mordjene is a line of sweet spreads from Cebon, an Algerian food company. The best-known product is a creamy hazelnut and cocoa spread, sold in a large 700g jar. For many Algerians, it is simply part of breakfast: spread on warm bread, msemen or crêpes with a cup of coffee.

Its popularity grew well beyond Algeria in 2024, when videos of the spread drew attention across social media. Many people tried it for the first time then, while families who already knew it were happy to see a favorite from home getting so much attention.

El Mordjene Flavors and Products

The name El Mordjene covers more than one jar. Here are the products you can find at Casbah Market:

• Hazelnut and Cocoa Spread 700g, the classic chocolate and hazelnut jar.
• Roasted Hazelnut Cream 700g, with the focus on toasted hazelnut flavor.
• Roasted Peanut Butter Cream 700g, for people who love peanuts.
• Assila 1kg, a honey-style sugar spread.
• Chantilly Powder 200g, for homemade whipped cream.
• Vanilla Flavouring Powder 200g and Vanilla Sachets for baking.
• Pure Vegetable Fat 500g and 900g for pastry and cooking.

If you are buying for the first time, the hazelnut and cocoa spread is the natural place to start. If you prefer a less chocolatey taste, the roasted hazelnut cream is a good alternative.

Different Spellings You Might See

Because the name is written from Arabic into Latin letters, you will find it spelled in several ways. El Mordjene, El Mordjane and Elmordjene all refer to the same brand name, and the Arabic name is المرجان. You may also see it listed under the company name, as Cebon chocolate spread or Cebon hazelnut cream.

If a search comes up empty, try one of the other spellings or search for Cebon. On our site, you can type any of these into the search bar to reach the same range of products.

What to Check Before You Buy

When a product gets popular, listings can appear in many places, so it helps to look closely before you order. Check that the seller clearly shows the brand name, jar size and flavor, and make sure the photo matches what is being described.

When your jar arrives, look at the label for the Cebon name, the weight and the date marking, and make sure the seal is intact. If an item from Casbah Market arrives damaged, report it within 48 hours with a photo so we can refund it.

How to Enjoy El Mordjene

The simplest way is often the best: spread it on warm bread and enjoy it with coffee or milk. It also pairs nicely with instant coffee for a quick breakfast. Beyond that, there are plenty of ways to use it:

• Spread it on msemen, baghrir or crêpes.
• Sandwich it between biscuits for an easy treat.
• Use it as a filling for cakes and homemade cookies.
• Warm a spoonful and pour it over ice cream.
• Stir a little into hot milk for a rich drink.

If you enjoy baking, combine it with Nouara baking powder and your favorite cake recipe, or top a dessert with whipped cream made from chantilly powder.

How to Store Your Jar

Keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and close the lid tightly after each use. Always use a clean, dry spoon, because water or crumbs can spoil the texture. For the most accurate storage guidance and best-before information, follow what is printed on the label.

Getting El Mordjene Delivered in the USA

Casbah Market ships to all 50 states. Orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days and delivered in 5–7 business days, with a tracking number sent by email once your order ships. Shipping starts from $7.99, and orders of $99 or more ship free, up to 40 lbs.

Since a 700g jar is a fairly heavy item, it often makes sense to combine several jars or add other groceries to reach free shipping. Take a look at our guide to the Algerian grocery store in the USA for ideas on what to add.

Simple Recipes Using El Mordjene

El Mordjene is an easy way to turn simple ingredients into a dessert. For quick crêpes, make your usual batter, cook thin crêpes in a lightly greased pan, and spread each one with a generous spoonful of hazelnut cocoa spread while still warm. Fold them into quarters and finish with chopped nuts or sliced banana.

For a no-bake biscuit cake, layer chocolate cream biscuits dipped briefly in milk with spoonfuls of the spread in a small dish. Repeat until the dish is full, cover it and chill for a few hours until it slices easily. You can top it with whipped cream made from chantilly powder just before serving.

You can also make a quick warm drink. Heat a cup of milk gently, whisk in a spoonful of spread until smooth, and add a little instant coffee if you want an afternoon pick-me-up.

Which Jar Should You Choose?

If you want the taste most people associate with the name, choose the hazelnut and cocoa spread. If you enjoy toasted nuts more than chocolate, the roasted hazelnut cream will probably suit you better. Peanut lovers should go for the roasted peanut cream, and anyone who likes a honey-style sweetness should look at Assila.

Buying for a family or for gifts? Consider ordering two different jars so that everyone can find a favorite. A jar also pairs nicely with biscuits or coffee in a small gift bundle for Eid, a birthday or a housewarming.

Giving El Mordjene as a Gift

A jar of El Mordjene is a simple gift that many people appreciate. Pair it with a pack of Bimo wafers and a jar of coffee for a homesick friend, or include it in a small Eid basket for family. It is also a fun introduction for anyone curious about a spread they have only seen online.

Why So Many People Are Searching for El Mordjene

Part of the appeal is simple: it is a large, generous jar of a smooth and sweet spread that many people find hard to stop eating. Social media gave it a much wider audience, with people filming their first taste and comparing it with spreads they already knew.

For Algerians living abroad, the appeal runs deeper. A familiar jar on the breakfast table is a small link to home, to family kitchens and to the routines of childhood. That is often why people go looking for it, even after years away, and why it is such a popular item to share with friends.

Whatever brought you here, it is worth trying it the traditional way first. Warm some bread, add a generous layer, and pour yourself a coffee. If you enjoy it, you can then explore the roasted hazelnut and peanut versions and find your own favorite.
