If you have ever wondered how to create the magnificent steak dishes enjoyed at Argentinian steakhouses the secret is out - Chimmi-Churri sauce! A staple in Argentina and neighboring Chile, this wonderfully flavorful sauce is as versatile as it is tasty. Our Gaucho Green Chimmi-Churri sauce contains a barrel-aged brew of cider and red wine vinegars, fresh parsley and cilantro, virgin olive oils, hot peppers, worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon, honey, soy sauce, teas, herbs and spices. Brush our vintage (2004) Chimmi-Churri on grilled, roasted or barbecued meats, poultry and fish for maximum flavor. It can also be used as a tenderizing, flavor-enhancing marinade. Try on vegetables or as a dipping sauce for fresh breads.

I marinated both a pork tenderloin & boneless chicken breasts (at different meals). FANTASTIC flavor; very moist & tender. I want to try this with sour cream as a spread. I suspect it will be fabulous in every use. I will order this again. (but I want a thicker one.....like pesto.....)

Perfect Gift for Father's Day

By BBQ BEN from Big Sur, California and Montauk, NY on 4/28/2007

Pros:

Flavorful, Gets Better in Bottle, Intensely mellow, Rich

Cons:

Aroma attracts neighbors, Makes sausages too good

Best Uses:

Beef lamb chicken game, In cheese dips, Pork roasts are superb, Roasted root vegetables, Sandwiches

Describe Yourself:

Chef, Foodie, Frequent Diner, Gaucho is ORGANIC, Health Conscious, Love grilled foods

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Gaucho is so good on meats and vegetables that you'll use it as the central good taste of many meals. To grill chorizo with Gaucho Chimmi, and then serve the sausage on chimmi-slathered crusty bread is Nirvana, and in Argentina it's the cocktail food of elegant parties. Yes, even the Argentines love Gaucho, although it's made in the USA. PLUS, each bottle is vintage labeled and you can keep it in your wine cellar until it gets richer and sweeter and mellower. GREAT STUFF!!!

Good but not authentic

By Lorena

from San Juan, Puerto Rico on 2/26/2007

Pros:

Durable, Good Value, High Quality

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This sauce is indeed very flavorful; every time I've used it the meat comes out tasty, moist, and tender. In fact, I intend to continue using it. My only problem with it is that it's far from the real thing. If you want a genuine taste of chimichurri, this is not the sauce for you.
