Why has my Coconut Milk/Cream solidified or curdled?

Being a 100% natural product, our Coconut Milk / Creams have a low solidifying temperature of around 14°C, if the temperature falls below this the contents may solidify.

Sometimes in cold weather, even when kept in a pantry our Coconut Milk/Cream may solidify or curdle.

To regain the liquid aspect, simply heat up in a pan, sit the can in a bowl of hot water or directly spoon into your food and stir well.

Does AYAM™ use monkeys when harvesting coconut?

At AYAM™, we stand firmly against exploiting monkeys for harvesting coconuts.

Our plantations are regularly visited and audited by our Quality Assurance team to overlook coconut quality and the harvesting process.

We confirm our coconuts are manually removed by skilled local workers. These workers will use long handle hook knives as well as ladders to climb up and remove coconuts from trees.

We share you concerns for the welfare of animals in coconut plantations and do not engage in these behaviours from occurring in our supply chain.

What is the difference between light and the regular coconut milk/cream?

Our Light Coconut Milk contains 31% less fat compared to regular AYAM™ Coconut Milk, while our Light Coconut Cream contains 26% less fat compared to regular AYAM™ Coconut Cream.

For your convenience, we have listed the nutritional information of regular AYAM™ Coconut Milk/Cream (in the furthest column) to compare against AYAM™ Light Coconut Milk/Cream (second column) on the label of our Light Coconut Milk/Creams.

What is the difference between your organic and regular coconut milk/creams?

Our regular coconut range is manufactured in Malaysia from locally sourced coconut plantations whereas, our organic Coconut product range is grown and sourced from organic plantations in Thailand.

Both AYAM™ regular and organic Coconut Milk/Creams are 100% natural and contain no preservatives or whiteners. Our organic Coconut Milk/Creams do contain a natural vegetable guar gum, used as a thickener due to the coconut’s lower fat levels. 

As the dilution process can cause separation of the emulsified liquid, a vegetable guar gum is required to maintain the consistency of our organic Coconut Milk/Cream.

Why is your Coconut Milk Powder not dairy free?

Our Coconut Milk Powder is the only product in our coconut range which contains milk protein and is therefore not dairy-free.

The milk protein ingredient is sodium caseinate which is found in cow’s milk and is used as a stabiliser to help the powder and water bind together and blend properly so the powder doesn’t float to the surface.

The protein acts as an essential binding ingredient for our Coconut Milk Powder product hence we are unable to remove or substitute this ingredient at this stage.
