How to Store

  • Fridge: Keep your chimichurri sauce in a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. The oil likes to separate, so always give it a good stir before serving.
  • Freezer: Spoon the sauce into an airtight container or ice cube tray and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then stir well before using.
