Gourmet Grubb

Gourmet Grubb is a Cape Town, South Africa based insect food start-up that produces ice cream created with an insect-based milk alternative ("EntoMilk").[1][2] EntoMilk is created by blending the larvae of the black soldier fly[3] and Gourmet Grubb has a number of ice cream flavors.[4]

History

The company was co-founded by Leah Bessa,[5] Jean Louwrens and Llewelyn de Beer[6] in 2017.[7]

In 2018, Bessa spoke at Forbes Africa during their 30 under 30 meet up to discuss how their insect ice cream is changing the food industry.[6]

In 2019, Gourmet Grubb opened a pop-up bug restaurant called The Insect Experience[8] with chef Mario Barnard, South Africa's first all-insect restaurant.[9][10]

Awards

They received an award by LUX Life Magazine as the Most Pioneering Dairy Alternatives Company in 2019 and the Culinary Innovation Award for their EntroMilk Ice Cream.[11][12]
