Authenticity is not about one fixed formula. It comes from a recognisable balance of herbs, garlic, vinegar and oil, a spoonable texture, and the way the sauce is used generously with grilled food. Argentine households often have their own version, adjusted through habit rather than strict measurement. Shop Chimmy’s chimichurri range.
Created by people who grew up with it
The founders of Chimmy’s were born and raised in Argentina and grew up with chimichurri on their table. They began making it for themselves, then friends, before developing the brand. That lived connection gives the product story substance beyond simply borrowing an Argentine recipe name.

Old Classic: the traditional starting point
Chimmy’s Old Classic combines parsley, garlic, oregano, olive oil and vinegar for a fresh, zesty profile. Serve it with steak, grilled chicken, lamb, vegetables or bread. Its purpose is to lift the food, not cover the flavour created by the grill.
Tradition can leave room for variation
Modern Twist, Smoky BBQ and Spicy extend the core idea into different meals and preferences. These are not presented as replacements for the classic style; they show how the same balance of herbs, acidity and savoury flavour can move comfortably through a modern kitchen.
How to serve it the Argentine way
Place chimichurri on the table and let people add it themselves. Serve it with grilled food, simple salads and bread, and treat the meal as something to share. The relaxed, communal setting is as important to the experience as the exact spoonful of sauce.
