Western Romania university launches own food brand

The University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj-Napoca (USAMV), in western Romania, has introduced its own brand of food products, called Gourmeticus Academicum, according to Romania-Insider.com.

The products are conceived by professors and students of the Faculty of Science and Food Technology and will retail in the university’s own stores in Cluj-Napoca, Rfi.ro reported.

Yogurt is the first product on the market under the university brand. It is manufactured using the milk from the farms the university owns.

“It is a product made entirely by USAMV, because the milk comes from the farms we own as a university. Its carbon footprint is almost zero because we require little transport from the farm to the pilot station where the dairy is manufactured,” professor Dan Vodnar, the pro-rector of USAMV Cluj, explained.

The university plans to also launch cheese, pastry and meat products under the same brand.
