best pure coconut cream or milk?

[Guest guest]

What is your favorite organic, pure additive-free (GAPS-legal) coconut cream

or milk or coconut flakes (not de-fatted) for making the milk? I've tried

making coconut cream from Artisina coconut spread in a jar and it tastes

yucky to me - it has a non-fresh taste. I've also " Let's do organic " creamed

coconut and that tasted hideous to me. Again, it doesn't taste like fresh

coconut.

The only canned coconut milk my local HFS sells that is additive-free is

Natural Value lite coconut milk, which is the best tasting canned coconut

milk I've yet tried, BUT, it's much too watery and I don't want to eat

canned foods with regularity. It looks like making coconut milk from

shredded coconut might be a more expensive option(?) but might produce a

better tasting product? I love the ease of just adding warm water to

hardened coconut cream, but just haven't found one yet that tastes fresh and

good.

I also haven't found a powdered coconut milk that doesn't contain casein -

is there one?

Eventually, I plan to make my own from scratch, but in the meantime need to

find a tasty commercial product. I haven't tried Tropical Traditions flakes

or coconut cream yet - any comments on those?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
