Chimichurri is a vibrant and flavourful sauce originating from Argentina, renowned for its rich herbal flavour and for its versatility. The base of classic chimichurri is parsley and coriander while garlic adds a pungent kick and oregano contributes earthy undertones.

Combined oil, vinegar, and a splash of water, the sauce achieves a superb balance of tanginess and richness, making it a versatile accompaniment to grilled meats, seafood, vegetables, and even bread or use it as a dip or as a marinade.
- Smoky BBQ chimichurri: Smoky and rich with a little bit of sweetness at the end, at its heart, Smoky BBQ Chimichurri features the familiar parsley and coriander base however, a subtle smoky dimension is introduced through the addition of smoked paprika and chipotle chili. These smoky notes infuse the sauce with a deep, savoury flavour reminiscent of charred wood and open flames resulting in a tantalizingly smoky chimichurri sauce that is robust and aromatic. Whether used as a marinade for grilled meats, a bold topping for roasted vegetables or seafood, or a dipping sauce for crusty bread or empanadas, smoky chimichurri adds an irresistible depth of flavour.
- Spicy chimichurri: Extra heat to tickle the taste buds. Spicy chimichurri offers a fiery twist on the classic Argentine condiment, infusing it with an extra kick of heat and bold flavours.
