Avocado Oil vs. Canola Oil Chimichurri: Which One is Right for You?
Share
If you’re a chimichurri lover (and honestly, who isn’t?), you might be wondering: should you go with avocado oil or canola oil? At Pablo Kim’s Chimichurri, we offer both, but choosing between them depends on what matters most to you—flavor, versatility, price, or dietary preferences. Let’s break it down so you can pick the perfect chimichurri for your table.
What’s the Difference?
Both versions of our chimichurri bring bold, fresh flavors, but the choice of oil can make a difference in cooking applications, and price.
Why Choose Canola Oil Chimichurri?
Our Original Chimichurri is made with canola oil, a kitchen staple known for its neutral taste and versatility. It’s an excellent option for anyone who wants:
-
A smooth, balanced flavor – Canola oil doesn’t overpower the fresh herbs, garlic, and spices in our chimichurri, making it a crowd-pleaser.
-
Versatility in cooking – Works great as a marinade, finishing sauce, or dip, and can handle high-heat cooking (hello, grilled steaks!).
-
A high smoke point (~400°F) – Great for searing meats and veggies without burning or breaking down.
-
A budget-friendly choice – More affordable than avocado oil while still delivering premium quality.
-
An option for those with avocado allergies – If avocado is a no-go for you, our canola oil version ensures you don’t miss out on chimichurri bliss.

Why Choose Avocado Oil Chimichurri?
Our Avocado Oil Chimichurri is perfect for those looking for a seed oil-free option or who simply love the richness of avocado oil. Here’s why it stands out:
-
Rich, smooth texture with a mild taste – Enhances the flavors of fresh herbs without overpowering them.
-
A high smoke point (~520°F) – Ideal for high-heat cooking like searing and grilling.
-
A source of monounsaturated fats – Avocado oil is often associated with supporting balanced eating habits.
-
Pairs beautifully with everything – Whether drizzled on a salad, steak, or roasted veggies, it brings a slightly buttery mouthfeel.

Price Consideration
Since avocado oil is more expensive than canola oil, our avocado oil chimichurri reflects that difference. If you’re looking for a more affordable everyday option, canola oil might be the way to go. If you're seeking a seed oil-free alternative, avocado oil is worth the upgrade!
