Not to disagree too strongly, Pandora, but I have had jarred feta which
is much less saltier than some others. You can, if you have the
resources, get a young feta that is exceptionally mild. Here in San
Diego, the Petrou family sometimes carries it at their Farmer's Market
stands.

I've been eating feta since I was 10 years old and was living in Greece.
Like any other food, there are variances in feta.
