I believe it is period. We've discussed this here before, so you might 
want to take a look at these two files in the FOOD section of the 
Florilegium:
cheese-msg       (124K)  3/28/04    Medieval cheese. Recipes.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD/cheese-msg.html
fresh-cheeses-msg (43K)  3/28/04    Fresh cheeses such as ricotta, 
cream cheese
                                        and cottage cheese. Non-aged 
cheeses.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD/fresh-cheeses-msg.html

Here are the rest of the cheese oriented files in that section, just in 
case you might want to browse them as well:

cheesemaking-msg  (96K)  7/ 7/03    Comments and info. on cheesemaking. 
Recipes.

These are not quite cheese but similar:
clotted-cream-msg (28K) 10/ 4/01    Clotted cream products. Devonshire 
cream.
dairy-prod-msg    (80K) 10/ 4/01    Dairy products. milk, butter, 
curds, cream.

The latter one is also likely to have some info on period yogurt.
