I haven't come across any period recipes that called for 'pot cheese' or 
'farmer cheese' by name. I tend to use farmer cheese when a rich, soft, 
well-tasting cheese is called for, but you could just as well use 
fontina (which probably isn't period either, or if the name is, it's 
probably a different cheese).
