I'm not talking about the difference between different types (fat content) of milk. For instance, I like Sunnyside Farms 2%, but don't like Crystal 2%. Is it based on what they feed the cows, how they process the milk, how they store it, or what?

its all the things you mentioned. mostly it has to do weith teo things, the feed and if they cows are given rBGH. That is a BOVINE GROWTH HORMONE. Its what they give some cows to make them produce milk. Its sick and BAD for our bodies. Organic milk might even have a different taste from the regular kind too.

Milk flavour has a great deal to do with what the cows eat and where they eat it. The flavour of milk from the same herd can change according to time of year.
In Spring and Summer, cattle in Ireland and UK are usually put out to pasture. This means fresh sweet grass is the main bulk of their diet.
In the dark months of winter, most cattle are eating whatever the dairy farmer has been able to store away. This could be a mix of hay[s], cattle feeds and so on including silage.
Personally, I've never understood the desire to drink skimmed milk. Skimmed milk in my childhood in the Kent countryside was fed to the pigs. It is unfit for babies and if a baby were to be fed on skimmed milk, it would die.
Best milk comes from Jersey herds and is presented in a glass bottle with a gold top.
Best cream is Cornish and/or Devon clotted.
Strange ain't it! the people of Cornwall and Devon, living in an area with a high natural fat diet, have the least heart problems among the nation.

Different preservatives maybe? No milk in the supermarket is just cows milk, theres other stuff in it to keep it fresh for longer. Other than that, different cows? Different brands will get milk from different farms so maybe that affects the taste.

Generally it's a combination of the feed and the breed. Probably very little to do with hormones or the processing, except if it is super-pasteurized to give it longer shelf life.
