Kwatta has been a completely Belgian brand name for chocolate products since 1972. Previously, it was a Belgian-Dutch brand of chocolate, produced in Breda and Bois-d'Haine (since 1913), with chocolate from a Surinamese cocoa plantation of the same name. The Kwatta company was founded in 1883 by P. de Bondt and Jozef Gustaaf van Emden.

Kwatta's history has its origins in Suriname. There, in the mid-nineteenth century, the Dutchman Gustaaf van Emden owned a cocoa plantation near Paramaribo that was called Kwatta.

The expression "All eyes are fixed on Kwatta" comes from this chocolate brand. The phrase means that everyone draws their attention to a specific point or topic. In Noord-Brabant and Gelderland, the word kwatta is still used, especially by the elderly, when one means chocolate. Chocolate sprinkles were also called kwattastrussel.
