Any ideas on where to buy El Mordjene hazelnut spread in NYC? Was super curious to try after reading the New Yorker article on what a craze it's been in Algeria + France.

I'd assume Algerian/Middle Eastern specialty grocery markets may carry but wanted to see if anyone can confirm they've seen it in NYC (bonus points if it's around Union Square).

Did a quick Mercato/Doordash/Google search and came up blank, a French language Tiktok seemed to point to Aldar in Astoria having a different variant, not the OG spread.
