This is a cheap, generic supermarket brand of coconut milk. To be honest the more expensive brands do have a better quality and are more fragrant too. However, this is good enough for dishes where the coconut taste is not that prominent. We made a simple curry and used this to add a touch of sweetness. It worked well and we saved a few bucks using this brand too.

It is a good value option, though some reviewers note it is less rich than premium brands.

Nutrition (per 100mL): The product contains approximately 234 kJ of energy, 5.4g total fat (4.1g saturated fat), 1.6g carbohydrates, and 0.9g sugars. Packaging: It comes in a 400mL can. Some user reviews mention the lack of a ring-pull can opener as a minor inconvenience. Storage: It should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Tasha K ✓

one tin can of coconut milk. this is the Woolworths essentials range and is a reasonably priced can of coconut milk. the coconut milk inside is well mixed and doesn’t separate like other brands. goes well in curries and rice

Liz ✓

Great for use in curries or even in cakes! Smooth and silky with a great taste to it. Make sure to give it a good shake before use though

Amy Sellars ✓

great to use in cooking, we recently used this when making a massaman curry and it was super creamy and yum!

Milbru Moeua ✓

I love using this brand of coconut milk. I use it to make pani popo. it dies the trick and sometimes if im out of vream I use this as a substitute

Dana A ✓

This was pretty good. except for the can itself, it's always a pain to open. If it could be made with the finger flip-opening mechanism, like the coles homebrand one for example. It's a cheaper option I guess. But yes it's tasty, great addition to curries.

Nicole L Cavendish ✓

The Woolworths Essentials Coconut Milk is a surprisingly decent budget option if you’re looking for something affordable and reliable for everyday cooking. It has a smooth, creamy texture that works well in curries, soups, smoothies, and baking. The flavour isn’t as rich or coconut-forward as some of the more expensive brands, but it still gives dishes a nice, mild coconut taste without being overpowering.

Queen Aliyah Padua ✓

another additional to our pantry this woolies coconut milk is a must-have in our pantry.. making food more creamier and tastier.. love this coconut milk.

lisa ✓

tasty and cheap. just needs a can opener. always got a couple in the cupboard for curries.

Stacey ✓

this is a great product. it has so many uses and is also a great price! this one we added to a curry

Susan Gudgeon ✓

Only 50% coconut extract – so half the product is water (plus thickener) rather than a high concentration of coconut. That means it will be lighter in texture and flavour compared with premium coconut milk brands. The presence of a thickener (guar gum) – some users prefer coconut milk with just coconut + water, no stabilisers. As noted by label-analysis sites:

Bronson Lloyd ✓

good cheap coconut milk easy to cook with definitely worth it

Lola ✓

great Coconut milk. tastes really yummy and is perfect for curries. I wish it came with the little can opener bit so you didn't need a can opener but apart from that it's great

Mikayla ✓

decent coconut milk for the price, good to have in the cupboard for a quick curry (I like to keep curry paste, coconut milk and chickpeas on hand for a quick dinner when I don’t have any plans)

Jeremy Ern Hwei Tan ✓
