Not by name but I think from previous discussions that it might be. Check
this file in the FOOD section of my Florilegium for this or similar cheeses:
cheese-msg (72K) 6/12/98 Medieval cheese. Recipes.
And this one in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section for info on period capers:
capers-msg (9K) 5/14/97 Use of capers in medieval food.
