had to do some digging in this thread but i found itThat's why they call it "Parmesan" cheese here because that's not a protected term and it's not the real stuff. It's imitation cheese. It's like using something like Grana Padano which is kinda sorta like Parmigiano Reggiano except it costs about half the price and doesn't taste as good. It's no different than California labeling their sparkling wine as "California Champagne". Since Champagne is a protected term but they fought it in court and since it was grandfathered in they're allowed to do so. But only by using the qualifier "California". Kraft didn't have that clout or that right so it's Parmesan.
Yeah it was covered a long time ago. The only places you managed to find it was, oddly enough, in some hardware stores. I've never actually seen it in the wild but there was a post he made once talking about getting into a couple local hardware stores along with his sauce.
