Coconut milk or coconut cream?

When to choose coconut milk

For a curry, soup or sauce calling for coconut milk, begin with the milk specified in the recipe. OKO coconut milk comes in a 400 ml pack. Shake well before use and add the amount your recipe requires.

When to consider coconut cream

A recipe may call for coconut cream for a richer finish in sauces, curries or desserts. Milk and cream can behave differently, so an equal-volume substitution may need adjustment. For whipping or setting, use a recipe developed for that product.

How powder differs

Coconut milk powder is a separate format with its own ingredients and preparation guidance. Follow the powder label rather than treating dry powder as a direct one-to-one replacement for liquid milk.

Opening and storage

Follow the batch-specific best-before date and storage directions. OKO coconut milk guidance says to refrigerate after opening and consume within 3 days. Check the cream and powder packs separately.

For cafés and restaurants

Discuss the intended menu use and quantity before requesting a quotation. Trial the actual product with your coffee and preparation method; this guide does not promise foaming, stability or whipping performance.
