Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
