To those longing for milk that tastes like something in the US, I'd suggest finding a supplier of Jersey cow milk if you can, a much richer and more flavorful alternative to the Holstein cow milk most commonly available. Jersey cows produce less milk than the Holstein, but its butterfat and protein levels are significantly higher [1]. The cows' diet is going to have the highest impact on flavor regardless of breed, so it's important that they be free-roaming and grass- (and maybe seaweed-) fed, but it's likely that any alternative to Holstein cow milk is going to have a better flavor.
In Northern California, Saint Benoit [2] markets Jersey cow milk and yogurt. The flavor of their milk is incomparable to all others I've ever tried stateside.
