Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper fruit bomb, so beware: it's not shy. Erba Gold doubles down on tropical sweetness, moving beyond Erba Pura's sharp tang. It's divisive - some find it an addictive, mass-appealing summer banger; others, a synthetic headache in a bottle. Sample it first if you don't fancy choking out your mates.
This one's a proper head-turner, but not for everyone. If you're after a unique gourmand that's zingy and sweet without being sickly, you're in for a treat. Some find the spice and citrus a bit much, but for most, it's a beautifully balanced lemon cake fantasy.
