Argentinian chimichurri is closely associated with asado, the social tradition of cooking meat over fire. The sauce is more than decoration: its herbs, garlic and vinegar give grilled food contrast and freshness. Recipes vary between families, which is why there is no single version that represents every Argentine table. Shop Chimmy’s chimichurri range.
What goes into a traditional-style blend
Parsley, garlic, oregano, vinegar and oil form the recognisable foundation. Some cooks add chilli, paprika or other herbs. Texture matters as much as the ingredient list: chimichurri is generally chopped and spoonable, with enough liquid to dress food but enough body to cling to it.

The story behind Chimmy’s
Chimmy’s was created by a husband-and-wife team born and raised in Argentina. They grew up eating chimichurri and first made it for themselves and their friends. The business now shares that food tradition through a UK-produced range designed for modern kitchens and gatherings.
Old Classic and the wider range
Old Classic is the closest expression of the familiar Argentine profile, blending parsley, garlic, oregano, olive oil and vinegar. The range then moves outward: Modern Twist adds tomato, Smoky BBQ responds to contemporary grilling, and Spicy offers more heat while keeping the core versatility.
Bring the asado spirit to any table
You do not need a large grill or a particular cut of meat to enjoy chimichurri. Serve it with vegetables, chicken, fish, bread or potatoes and place it where everyone can reach it. The shared bowl reflects the generous, social style of eating that inspired the brand.
