Aroy-D 100 Milk 8.5 Oz, Coconut, 1 Count, (Pack of 6) (Ven_FD39-193)

Aroy-D is by no means the cheapest coconut milk, but in my experience it is far better than products from other companies and well worth the cost. The chief benefit is that it is only coconut milk. This is rare. It is smooth, thick, flavorful and consistent. Before it gets to me the contents may have separated. But, unlike some other coconut milks, if I shake the carton a bit before opening it it readily unifies again - and stays unified. A first rate Thai product and I hope they keep shipping it to the USA.Feb 1 2019 UpdateI maintain my 5 star review but I am adding a caveat. What is in the cartons is excellent, but it can be difficult to get out. The first sets I bought poured out easily after I shook them. The current batch is much thicker and does not pour well, even if I squeeze the carton. I actually have to cut the cartons apart with my Ikea scissors and scrape the coconut mass into a bowl. For me it is worth the effort because it is pure coconut. It obviously has had nothing added in and has not been processed through a dozen automated machines. So I know I am not being slowly poisoned. But some people will not want to deal with this occasional rather severe pouring problem. I tolerate it well enough and will happily keep using it every day with cereal, fruit, baked items - and even my coffee. It's delicious.

I'm so glad I came across this while looking for multipacks of the So Delicious culinary coconut cream. This stuff is thinner than that, but its only ingredients are coconut and water, no gum added, which means you have to shake it and shake it and shake it, but it's also almost certainly easier to digest.1000 ml is just over a quart, so you need to do a few things once you've opened the carton. It makes sense to me to get it all very well homogenized and then pour into two pint jars plus some change. I have an old gas stove which is always warm because of the pilot, and I leave the carton on there for quite a while before shake-shake-shaking and opening it. If I still lived in a cold climate, I'd probably put the carton in a warm water bath, and then dump all the contents into a saucepan or quart-sized measuring cup and stir together really well before decanting into jars.It says only good for two days once opened, and I freeze one of the jars (don't fill all the way, and don't screw down tight, put in freezer upright :) ) . That said, I've had it in the fridge for several days with no spoilage, and if I did think it was going to spoil I'd add some probiotic powder and let it become a yogurt-like thing.For reasons I haven't quite figure out yet, I've had it come out of the freezer and thaw right back to a good smooth texture, and I've had it thaw to a grainy texture that needed blending.The carton is a little flimsy (another reason it's worth decanting right away) and the six cartons arrived mummified in saran wrap :)Coconut is my mainstay, and this is delicious and convenient. And affordable. Subscribe and save, please!Edited to add: I was curious about the perishability disclaimer, so I tried _not_ freezing my second pint jar and just putting it in the coldest part of the fridge. And it hasn't spoiled whatsoever.In the meantime, though, I also purchased the coconut cream AROY-D 100% PURE Coconut Cream, 33.8 Oz package (3-pack)It's only available in 3-pack, but it's about the same price and thus better value for money because less water/more coconut. And oh it is so good.This product (the milk) is just a little thicker than the coconut milk in cartons at the store; the coconut cream is more comparable to the canned coconut milk in terms of thickness. If you want the convenience of pourable milk, or milk that can be quickly made pourable, this is what you need. If you want the creamier stuff that thickens up in the fridge and will need a bit more work to make pourable, and/or if it's your staple food (as for me), the cream may be better for you.

Product photo says "Ingredient: Coconut Milk 100%" but this is NOT true. When you receive the product you'll find a different label with Polysorbate 60 in the ingredients listed on the package.I'm a health food blogger and I'm upset to find that the wonderful product I've been buying and recommending to everyone for years I'm going to now have to stop buying and tell everyone to stop as well. I've got autoimmune issues and can't afford to mess around with ingredients that could potentially cause further problems for me. And I can't recommend something like this to the health community I'm involved in. I'm so sad to have to tell them. This product was PERFECT, I used it daily, and was always raving about it to everyone as pure and natural. I had made it a point to purchase a product that said "100% coconut milk" in the photo of the label. I'm so disappointed.UPDATE: This company is TERRIBLE and has been giving me the runaround for 3 weeks. Ironically this product was being sold by a company called Honest Foods. Looking back at other reviews, people began complaining about the addition of polysorbate 60 more well over a year ago yet the seller has STILL not updated the listing to show the real ingredients list with polysorbate 60 in it. Terrible.

accurate description, great value, excellent quality, prefect taste, fresh, fast delivery,
