Mouna or Mona, also known as Lamona or Khobz soltani is an Algerian orange scented brioche that is indigenous to the city of Oran. It has a sweet taste enriched with oil and eggs and often contains anise, sesame, orange or other citrus. The Pieds noirs, who introduced it into France in the 1960s, tend to eat it at Easter. Etymology. The Mouna, or Mona, being similar to the Spanish Mona de Pascua, led to some claims that this brioche was brought by the Valencians to Oran.
