"If you've ever wondered what makes your Thai curry, piña colada, or sticky rice so rich and creamy, the answer is canned coconut milk. Canned coconut milk differs from coconut milk in a carton through a much higher ratio of coconut meat to water, resulting in a much creamier, full-bodied consistency that adds more heft to dishes while also bestowing subtle notes of nuttiness."
"When Tasting Table did a ranking of canned coconut milk brands, Goya was rated as one of the worst due to its off-putting taste. Other reviews have echoed these sentiments, noting that the milk tastes almost as if it has gone bad, with a bitter and sour taste that completely masks any of the rich, nutty, slightly sweet notes you'd desire in a can of coconut milk."
"While its consistency is thicker than carton coconut milk, Goya coconut milk is still thinner than competitor brands and often contains tiny, stubborn clumps that won't emulsify. Furthermore, while Goya asserts that its canned coconut milk contains no thickeners, it still contains sulfites that act as chemical preservatives. If you're a fan of all-natural, whole ingredients, this will count as yet another mark against Goya."
Canned coconut milk contains a higher ratio of coconut meat to water than carton coconut milk, producing a creamier, full-bodied texture and subtle nuttiness. Goya canned coconut milk has been rated poorly for an off-putting, bitter, and sour flavor and can emit a sour aroma directly from the can. The product's consistency is thinner than many competitors and may include tiny clumps that do not emulsify. Although Goya claims no thickeners, the product contains sulfites used as chemical preservatives. When choosing canned coconut milk, seek an opaque white-to-pearl color, smooth thick consistency, and expect natural fat-water separation.
