Good point. I hadn't really thought about what I would think without the prompting of the article. I thought the point of hard cheese was that it did keep. But all the parmesan I see is refrigerated. So I don't know what I would have thought.

In fact, what I thought when I saw the photo of the shelf was, "Kraft? Don't they make one of those horrible cheese substitutes? I bet their 'parmesan' is horrible". But I think that reaction was more outdated prejudice than an accurate judgement, even if it happened to be accurate in this case.
