Saluti da IAAS Italy!
October is the right month to put the seed of IAAS in the new students, as it’s the start of the academic year here, so most of
our job in this period is about meeting the new students, and helping them discover the University, and of course spread some
IAAS knowledge.

Pecorino Romano D.O.P
Cheese Congress
October 17 th , 2019 (Sassari, Italy)
This congress is part of an hard work done by our LC of
Sassari from the beginning of 2019, when in our region,
Sardinia, the shepherds, exasperated by the fact the price of
sheep milk was too low to cover the expense of producing it,
started a huge protest throwing the milk on the streets. In
the last academic year we made some conferences to discuss
the problem and how to solve it, while in this last one,
collaborating with our Professors, the shepherds, and
different kinds of professionals, we discussed about Pecorino
Romano, which is the most produced cheese in Sardinia, and
presented the new productive, managing, and marketing
plans of this cheese.
