Coconut milk refers to the freshly extracted milky fluid of the coconut kernel, with or without added water and is crafted through gravitational separation or centrifugation. Unsweetened and crafted from organic coconuts, the coconut milk is an organic product, free of thickeners, stabilizers and additives. Coconut milk is also highly nutritious, rich in fibre and lactose free. This means it can be used as a milk substitute by those with lactose intolerance. A fully blossomed tree can produce between 60-180 coconuts in a single harvest.
Organic coconut milk is made from pressed, fresh organic coconut meat. The first step is breaking the de-husked nuts into halves. The split nuts are then de-shelled to separate the kernel. Thereafter, the kernel is washed and blanched by being immersed in hot water at 80CO for 10 minutes. The blanched kernel is then grated into small pieces using a hammer mill. The gratings are then pressed using, continuous screw- press mechanism. Once the milk assumes a creamy consistency, the coconut milk is then pasteurized at 95CO for 10 minutes. The heated, pasteurized coconut milk is then filled into cans, followed by a steam-exhausting process. The cans are sterilized in a rotary retort at 15psi for 20 minutes. Finally, the cans are cooled in running water and ready to go.
