As a milk-lover in the US, those UHT bags I see on the internet fascinate me completely.

> Some would even say that fresh milk tastes like cows.

Well, it kind of does. I dislike goat's milk and goat cheese because it tastes like goat, so I get it.

I buy my milk from relatively small (but not "artisinal" small) local dairies where the milk comes from cows all fed similarly, and can tell what they feed the cows based on the taste of the milk. Grass fed is best. To be clear, I'm not buying raw milk. It's all HTST pasteurized.

> although most of their organic milk is UHT due to longer supply chains

I didn't know this! But it may explain why I tend not to enjoy the taste of organic milk.
