Kodaira-Spencer formality of products of complex manifolds

We shall say that a complex manifold $X$ is emph{Kodaira-Spencer formal} if its Kodaira-Spencer differential graded Lie algebra $A^{0,*}_X(Theta_X)$ is formal; if this happen, then the deformation theory of $X$ is completely determined by the graded Lie algebra $H^*(X,Theta_X)$ and the base space of the semiuniversal deformation is a quadratic singularity.. Determine when a complex manifold is Kodaira-Spencer formal is generally difficult and we actually know only a limited class of cases where this happen. Among such examples we have Riemann surfaces, projective spaces, holomorphic Poisson manifolds with surjective anchor map $H^*(X,Omega^1_X) o H^*(X,Theta_X)$ and every compact K"{a}hler manifold with trivial or torsion canonical bundle. In this short note we investigate the behavior of this property under finite products. Let $X,Y$ be compact complex manifolds; we prove that whenever $X$ and $Y$ are K"{a}hler, then $X imes Y$ is Kodaira-Spencer formal if and only if the same holds for $X$ and $Y$. A revisit of a classical example by Douady shows that the above result fails if the K"{a}hler assumption is dropped
