the brand i remember is Coco Lopez. It is not coconut milk which is the juice. IT is a thick liquid made from cooking down the flesh of the coconut. Look in the Liquor Dept or at a liquor store as it is used for Piña Coladas.

It is basically coconut milk with the water drawn out and concentrated.
If you open a can of coconut milk you have solids and a milky base, coconut water is the fluid in a fresh coconut.
I am a former chef and worked in Canada, Asia and Jamaica, in Singapore and Jamaica they use alot of coconut milk, it is the flesh grated, then water is add to extract the milk and fat.
For cream of coconut, they remove the excess water and then form it into a brick, it is like white butter, and is used as an enhancer, or in drinks like Pina Coladas, in cooking you use it mostly in desserts were you want a strong coconut flavour.

Coconut Milk and Cream of Coconut can be found in the same area as the drink mixers (i.e. Bloody Mary mix) in your grocery store.
