KOKO Dairy Free Coconut Milk

Koko is a pioneering brand in the dairy-free market, specifically recognized for being the first to create a coconut-based milk alternative that tastes remarkably like semi-skimmed dairy milk. Established in 2010, the brand was born from a family-owned coconut plantation in East Sumatra, Indonesia, which has been growing and harvesting coconuts since 1986. This direct connection to the source ensures that the coconuts are processed within hours of being picked to maintain freshness and nutritional integrity.

The brand's headquarters and primary operational base are located in the United Kingdom. Over the years, Koko has expanded its portfolio from its flagship daily milk alternative to include yogurt alternatives, spreads, and cheeses, all centered around the allergen-free benefits of coconut. Because it is free from dairy, soy, gluten, and nuts, it has become a staple for consumers with multiple dietary restrictions.

Historically, the brand was operated by First Drinks Ltd (later Koko Dairy Free), a subsidiary of the Thai-based global coconut giant, KPT (Kwang Soon Seng Group). As of the most recent corporate updates moving toward 2026, the brand continues to operate under the ownership of First Choice Foods, maintaining its specialized focus on coconut-based innovation while distributing its products across major retailers in Europe and international markets.
