I like to call it coconut water. Coconut milk/cream is made by grating
the coconut and squeezing the gratings. The old guys used to use the
coconut husks to strain the milk out but nowdays it's easier to use
cheesecloth or a tee shirt.

Coconut cream seems to have no standards when it comes to fat content. I
try to get the highest fat coconut cream that I can get. It varies
considerably - obviously some manufacturers water down the product. I'm
not a big fan of fat but that's what I judge the quality of the cream
by. You're going to have to calculate the relative fat content of the
cream by using the nutrition info on the back though. They don't make it
real easy. Good luck!
