About our Ayam™ coconut milks and creams
The dangerousness of Bisphenol A has been at the heart of controversy between scientists for several years. Ayam ™ has banned bisphenol A from its packaging.
Ayam ™ is happy to be able to say that no chemicals are sprayed on the coconut plantations used in the manufacture of its products.
The amount of coconut needed to fill a can depends on the weight and size of the kernel of each coconut. On average, one and a half coconut is needed for 400ml of product (milk or cream).
It is not recommended to freeze Ayam ™ coconut milk. Freezing coconut milk changes its physical characteristics and can cause its components, especially oil, to separate.
However, after opening, the unused quantity of product can be put in a plastic packaging and stored in the fridge for 3 days.
Contrary to their names, coconut milk and cream do not contain milk or cream. Coconut milk and cream are so called because of their white and opaque color. Coconut milk and cream do not contain any dairy products. They are therefore ideal for those intolerant to lactose, as a substitute for fresh and double cream for example.
Ayam ™ canned coconut milk and cream are additives-free. They naturally solidify when the temperature drops below 14 ° C. Solidification does not affect the quality of the product, nor its taste. You just need to heat the product slightly for it to regain all its smoothness and culinary qualities.
To restore the product to its liquid state, simply heat the unopened can in a saucepan of boiling water and then shake it before opening. It is also possible to add solidified coconut milk or cream directly to your dish. Coconut milk should preferably be stored in a pantry or in a cool place away from the sun in order to keep it in a liquid state.
Coconut milk and cream are not always pure white, they may have a slightly grey color. This grey tint can be corrected using chemical bleach. But to offer you products with the shortest possible ingredient lists, our coconut milks and creams do not contain any preservatives or coloring agents, so they may have a slightly grey tint.
Coconut milk and cream are made from the same raw material. The coconut is peeled, opened and its white flesh is extracted. This flesh is crushed, brought to the boil, filtered and put into packaging. For coconut cream, the evaporation time is longer. The coconut cream is therefore more concentrated, richer in fat and smoother.
Ayam ™ Coconut Cream can be used to add a thicker consistency or a creamy touch to your dishes. Ayam ™ coconut milk is ideal for cooking or for preparing light curries.
Coconut milk can be used as a substitute for cow's milk and coconut cream as a substitute for double cream in all your recipes. It gives a new taste to your dishes, an Asian touch. It is also a lactose-free way of cooking.
Our coconuts are harvested by hand by qualified locals. They usually use a sharp blade with a long bamboo handle to remove the coconuts from the tree.
Contrary to what one might think, no one in the plantations takes the risk or wastes the time to climb the coconut trees. The coconuts fall off easily with the pressure of the poles when they are mature.
Monkeys can be seen picking coconuts on Youtube, but this is an attraction for visitors to tourist areas. It is a practice that we disapprove of and that has no place in a real coconut plantation.
Coconut production is one of the main sources of employment in the agricultural regions concerned.
On the manufacturing side, we also take care of sustainable development: all the Ayam ™ factories assigned to the production of coconut-based products use the hulls to operate their burners, which means they do not consume fossil energy. The remaining waste is recycled. All the coconuts are thus used.
