Re: milk
It isn't local apparently. I was in Berlin a couple of years ago at a Citrix event. One of the companies they had talking to the press was a Kiwi dairy company. I got chatting to rep from the firm after I said I had flown in from the Middle East. She revealed that the vast majority of it is shipped in from New Zealand.
Apparently the majority of the companies just buy it in bulk and plaster their names on it.
Hence why it goes off so fast compared to milk from the UK (like two-three days). It's spent a ridiculous amount of time being shipped in.

Re: milk
We only ever drink Almari. A friend of ours with an interest in animal rights visited the plant in Saudi, and said he couldn't believe how well the cows were treated. Air conditioning, fresh air and grass, classical music... can't remember what else, but he was well impressed.

Almarai is one company that supplies the gulf states with fresh milk.

Does the milk taste better on a blind taste test?

Strangely, NZ dairy products are cheaper in Australia than they are in NZ, go figure.
