I have been trying all different types of milk alternatives like oat milk, almond milk etc. But none of them taste similar to cow’s milk. I know a lot of it has to do with familiarity with the milk I’ve been drinking all my life. But I want to understand why there has not been a lab-created cow’s milk yet.

As a person who grew up on a dairy farm let me talk about milk. The milk you drink is a blended product. It has components like butter fat that have been adjusted to make a standard product. It has also been homogenized to keep the butter fat from separating out. Different cows produce different tasting milk. cow with different diets will have milk that taste different. One of the first things a dairy will do before they buy your milk is check for onions. If a cow eats wild onions the milk will have a distinct onion smell. Most milk in the U.S. is produced by Holsteins. But Jersey milk is way better.
