I live and the US and have noticed the milk from the "nicer" grocers like Whole Foods and Farm Fresh tastes absolutely awful but the stuff from Food Lion etc in the HDPE jugs with the minimal labeling tastes way better. I don't know why that is.

This is because for some reason the organic milks are almost always UHT (ultra-high-temperature processing) where the milk is heated to a higher temperature for a shorter time. Some people notice a significant taste difference between UHT milk and non-UHT milk.

  > Some people notice a significant taste difference between UHT milk and non-UHT milk. You mean some people don't? They taste radically different (I like both btw).

    Well, I might be broken but I can't tell the difference.
