Big decline in quality 2014

I have been buying this coconut milk and coconut cream for several years. It is supposed to be one of the few that are packaged without bpa and without gums. Prior to 2014, it was an amazing product. It was full of cream, and the cream rose to the top almost without any refrigeration, at least 2/3rds of the package was cream. The milk that was left over was still thick. I was able to use it to make wonderful coconut whipped cream, ice cream, you name it. beginning in 2014 I have noticed a distinct change in the product. It now has a much lower cream content, the cream will not stick together at the top regardless of how long I refrigerate it, and when you open the box it appears oily on top. There is actually a noticeable layer of oil floating above the milk. It seems like it has been emulsified, and/or possibly has some gum in it. It will no longer make whipped cream, and the ice cream isn't as easy or good either. Putting it in coffee, it won't gently dissolve like it used to, it swirls together unnaturally and looks curdled. Its still one of the better coconut milks on the market, depending on what you need it for, curry is a good example. But forget using it as cream.

The quality has gone down significantly. Will no longer be purchasing.

Update: I originally wrote this review several months ago. Since then the price of this product has basically doubled and the quality has significantly decreased. Not sure why I am continuing to purchase it, I guess I am hoping that I will get a good batch. In the past, the coconut milk would be extremely easy to use. It rarely clumped and was comparable to whole milk in consistency when opened. Now it is clumpy and I am concerned about the quality of the product. Especially as the product reports no preservatives....Which apparently can have pros and cons. I have purchased this from several different venders and the quality is consistently poor. So, I do not believe that it is the sellers at this point. But instead the actual company producing it. There seems to be a large jump in its sales, thus the increased price. Will be using a different brand... Concerned that it may contain pests. Hope that this issue gets resolved! Very disappointed. ----Wow! I saw this recommended on a group site as an inexpensive way to incorporate coconut milk in your diet. Apparently this is often sold at Asian markets. And I was very excited to come across it on Amazon. The price is unbelievable compared to most grocery store canned coconut milk. It has no fillers, which is unheard of. And the quality is just unbelievable. I am so excited that I came across this on Amazon. I think I paid $12 for six cans of coconut milk! I can't find organic coconut milk at Whole Foods for less than three dollars a can. And when I do fine canned coconut milk at the grocery store, it always has some type of filler. Super excited about this product and will definitely be repurchasing this! Highly recommend!! You won't regret it!

Perfectly creamy and delicious; far superior to cans

So good! I wish I found this brand earlier. I like to have coconut milk on hand for adding in my tea, for smoothies, baking, etc. After years of the canned stuff with additives, this one definitely tastes superior. It's chunky out of the carton but I just pour the whole carton into a jar and shake vigorously and that's worked fine for me. (Not perfect but I'm always about to add it to something hot or something about to be blended so...) There's a lot more fat than I was expecting too and whatever remainder I put in the fridge is thick and almost solid the next time I reach for it. Great sign! The only downside is that you're supposed to use it within two days of opening. The cartons are only a little over 8oz but on days I'm just adding a couple tablespoons to tea that can be tough. But I haven't had to toss any out yet (and I definitely went over the two days a couple times).

I always buy this brand and it's great; no additives, mild taste. This batch, which expires in 2018, arived as a solid block. I cannot not liquify it, blend it, it's pretty useless unless you want a chunk of it in the bath. Not sure what happened. I have not received a reply from the vendor. And now that the price has increased significantly I'm a little pissed.

Concerned about unlisted ingredients

This product definitely has unlisted ingredients. It tastes fine and ***might*** be good for you, but it doesn't separate when cold so it isn't pure coconut milk. Some added ingredient is acting as an emulsifier and I wanted to avoid that.

Disclaimer: Maybe the total ingredients are listed in a language I can't read since I could only read the part written in English.

Enjoyed it for a time

I was all stoked about this product until I read that it contains gum just like the rest. They just don't have to list it because there is a small enough amount that it is not legally required. I do really like the flavor and the consistency is good, but not better enough than canned to make me pay the extra money for this.

I love this coconut milk. I used it to make paleo-diet friendly "creamer" [...], and it wound up being thick and creamy - almost like a whipped cream consistency. It tastes delicious and rich, so it feels like you are getting a special treat. I've tried several of the whole coconut milk varieties that come in cans, and none of them come close to comparing to the quality, taste and consistency of this one. Love it!

Really like the taste of this item. Like the fact it's not in a can. It's perfect to make healthy ice cream. Put one in the refrigerator for a few hours.Read more

I haven't tried it yet. But it's a pack of 6 and 2 of them had a leak and a stench. The labels on those 2 were smudged from the leak. I threw the 2 damaged cartons away.Read more

delicious

Born & raised in Iowa, can't get used to the weather.

Ships quickly. Fat settles out so it’s the real deal

After either warming it up to homogenize the fats or blending it to stir it up - I freeze the contents into cubes and use it in my frozen home made smoothie mix baggies.Read more

So good it's addictive, and makes an awesome paleo coffee creamer.

This stuff is like the heroin of the coconut milk world. It's so good. I don't know what they do to make it so creamy, consistent, and tasty but I don't think I really want to...Read more

makes great Thai coconut curry! The packages are small, so I have to use 2 for a recipe, unlike the canned type.Read more
