Turun sinappi (Swedish name: Åbo senap) is a mustard made in Finland. It is often served with makkara (i.e. sausage).Turun sinappi was first launched by Turku foodstuffs manufacturer Jalostaja in 1926. The mustard got its name after the Finnish city of Turku. It is sold in yellow 250 g tubes. It consists of dark yellow finely ground mustard and various other spices. There are four types of Turun sinappi: Mieto (mild) with a green cap, Väkevä (strong) with a red cap, Tulinen (fiery) with a black cap and Linnan sinappi (Mustard of the Castle) with blue cap. The logo sports the profile of Turku castle. The most popular type is the "red" range (Väkevä), which has a distinctive taste.There was a controversy over the name in the early 2000s, when Unilever bought out the original manufacturer.
