| Jethren Phillips started Spectrum in 1986 with the mission to bring expeller pressed culinary oils to people's everyday lives. Jethren had discovered the enormous benefit of healthy fats, and was intrigued by the highly desirable Fatty acid profile of Canola-but was appalled by the harsh chemical processing and nutritional bankruptcy rampant in the oil industry at the time. Because passion and pioneering often go hand in hand, Jethren chose to introduce the first naturally expeller pressed Canola oil to the United States himself. As Spectrum grew, the company cultivated an extensive line of certified organic oils, and eventually brought the first flaxseed oil to America. |
