How to display products parent category name in Home Featured module?

[ufikas]

Hello,
i need a very simple tweek to standard Home featured module (presta 1.3.7) - i need to display parent category of the product.
I only found way to get default category with $product.category_default, but is there a way to get parent category?
I have some knowledge of php and i'm familiar with smarty so don't hestitate to tell me where and what to edit.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the reply.
Actually i've searched both back end and front end for such function and found none.
If you take a look at class/product..php it looks like that there is no parent category variable in products array returned by global function. Only default category...
So i guess i need to call global category function, then get parent id of product category and the get parent category name by ID. Ew...
