Question 1

Some have complained the texture is too watery than creamy. Does it have a genuine cream consistency?

Accepted Answer

Mixed.  Some cans are ALL cream, some have a mix of cream and 'coconut water'.  Overall I am satisfied that I get mostly cream.  Since I use this in my coffee/tea preparations or soups, I am am okay with a more liquid texture from time to time though.  I also think of it as like cracking open a coconut, each experience is going to be slightly different, even nature doesn't get it perfect every single time.

Question 2

I just received the coconut cream and nowhere on the can do I see BPA-free. So many reviews mention BPA-free. Am I missing something?

Accepted Answer

I found this on Amazon's web page for Native Forest Coconut Cream. It may help.Are these cans BPA free?A:  Native Forest and Native Factor.Edward & Sons has at least a dozen different products in BPA free cans -- apart from Eden one of the largest selections out there, and with a good variety of exotic, something organic, sometimes sustainably produced fruits and vegetables, as well as the only canned coconut milk that uses a BPA free can. While there's no labeling on these BPA free foodstuffs, and very little information on the web site. the company has confirmed that 14 products have been in BPA free cans since last summer -- as long as you purchase Native Forest or Native Factor brands the canned goods are BPA-free.info found her: http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/7-companies-you-can-trust-to-use-bpa-free-cans.html see less done answered on December 28, 2014

Question 3

What is the difference with this coconut cream, premium and the native forest organic classic coconut milk?  i see the can size is smaller.

Accepted Answer

I bought both. The milk separates into a thick heavy cream with water when cold. You can blend them to make it one thick cream/milk (easier to shake at room temp) or you can use the water based part in smoothies etc, and the cream as a cream for thickening, or whipping. The cream in the smaller can is just very dense cream to use as cream in recipes, and it also can be whipped like whipping cream when cold. Both are really delicious!

Question 4

can you make whipped cream with this? Does it still need to separate or can you whip it all together?

Accepted Answer

This works great - "Whipped 'Coconut' Cream"Put 1 can of Coconut Milk in refrigerator over night - or long enough to be really cold.Turn can upside down & open.  Pour out some of the liquid.  Empty the rest into a mixing bowl.Use an electric mixer to whip up the Coconut Milk. (Do NOT use a Blender - as it will just liquify).Add 1 tsp Vanilla then add Stevia, to taste.Whip enough to mix.  Add some fruit & enjoy.heard about on KnowTheCause.com
