  • A shared threadCitrus and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Erba Gold in spring and summer and Shagya in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Erba Gold is eternal and enormous, Shagya long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
