ABOUT CHIMI

Chimichurri sauce is, as we know it today, the traditional steak sauce of Argentina, concocted and consumed by the Gauchos of the Pampas region.

Chimichurri origins are unknown. Among the many folk stories, they say that the name comes from a Basque word "tximitxurri" which loosely translates to "a mixture of several things in no particular order."

Some of the other stories claim that one some English man named James Curry invented it and the name of the sauce took his name after some butchering by the locals.

Other people claim that the locals of the viceroyalty of la Plata (Former colony of Spain) were introduce to Indian curry and when they couldn't fully pronounce "Give me Curry" it morphed into "Gimme Curry" to eventually land on "Chimichurri". Interestingly enough, chimichurri and curry are very different. 

In conclusion, nobody really knows where it comes from. There are theories and claims, but no one has been able to truly establish its origin. 

People often ask us: "how do you say chimichurri?" Super simple! Think Jimmy with a CH- in the beginning, and Churro but with a "ee" sound in the end.

That last time around, you said it right! Simple isn't it?

Our Classic Chimichurri is crafted with fresh chopped parsley, canola oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, chili flakes, Guinea spice, paprika peppers, and salt.

Our Avocado Chimichurri features the same high-quality ingredients, with canola oil replaced by avocado oil for a rich, smooth flavor.

Our chimichurri comes in three distinct flavors to suit every preference.

The Original is non spicy, offering the traditional taste that most Argentinians enjoy.

The Mild version has a subtle kick, providing a tangy, zesty flavor without overwhelming heat.

Lastly, our Spicy chimichurri is perfect for those who love a bit of heat—it's spicy, but not overpowering, offering just the right amount of kick for a satisfying flavor experience.

We want you to enjoy Chimichurri sauce in all its glory. We make it in small batches so that the goodness in your jar is no older than 72 hours. We really make an effort to serve you chimichurri sauce as fresh as possible so that you can enjoy it as much as we do.

Shelf life: Chimichurri evolves in its flavor as it ages. The fresh stage lasts about 2 to 3 weeks when refrigerated, and about 7 days if not. Chimichurri sauce is usually served aged. The ingredients cause a natural pickling process. We recommend that it is consumed within 6 months and be kept in cool dry place. 

The flavor of our chimichurri naturally evolves over time as it ferments. If you'd like it to ferment more quickly, simply leave it out of the fridge, as it follows a similar process to kimchi. To slow down fermentation and preserve its fresh taste, store it in the refrigerator.

When kept refrigerated, chimichurri will remain fresh for 2 to 3 weeks while still fermenting slowly. For the best experience, we recommend consuming it within three months of purchase. This allows you to enjoy both the fresh flavor and the depth that develops as it continues to ferment.
