Gourmet Grubb is an insect food start-up based in Cape Town, South Africa. It 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] The company sells a number of ice cream flavors.[4]
History[edit]
Gourmet Grubb was co-founded in 2017[5] by Leah Bessa,[6] Jean Louwrens, and Llewelyn de Beer.[7]
In 2018, Bessa spoke at Forbes Africa during their 30 under 30 meet up to discuss how they believe their insect ice cream is changing the food industry.[7]
In 2019, Gourmet Grubb opened a pop-up bug restaurant called The Insect Experience[8] with chef Mario Barnard. It is South Africa's first all-insect restaurant.[9][10]
