[{"order": 1, "question": "Are you open on weekends, and what are your current hours in Denmark?", "answer": "Yes. Our Denmark, WA shop is open Monday, Wednesday to Friday 7:30 AM–4:00 PM; Saturday and Sunday 7:30 AM–2:00 PM; public holidays 7:30 AM–2:00 PM (including Easter); Tuesday closed. Visit us at 1/19 South Coast Hwy, Denmark, and check our site or socials for any seasonal updates before you travel."}, {"order": 2, "question": "Do you offer vegan, dairy‑free, or gluten‑free chocolates?", "answer": "Yes—many of our handcrafted chocolates are available as vegan, dairy‑free, or gluten‑free options, made with premium Swiss couverture and carefully selected ingredients; however, as all products are created in the same small kitchen, trace levels of allergens may be present—please let us know your requirements in‑store so we can guide you to the best choices."}, {"order": 3, "question": "Can you create custom wedding favours or corporate gifts for events in Denmark and the Great Southern?", "answer": "Absolutely—bespoke boxes and favours are a specialty, with local flair and Australian native flavours available; typical lead times vary with quantity and season, so please get in touch early via our website to discuss flavours, branding, budgets, and pickup from our South Coast Highway shop (minimums may apply)."}, {"order": 4, "question": "What chocolate do you use, and is it ethically sourced?", "answer": "We work with high‑quality Swiss couverture (including single‑origin varieties such as Criollo) sourced through ethical supply chains, then craft small‑batch chocolates that often feature Western Australian ingredients and native bush flavours—transparency and taste are central to how we make chocolate in Denmark."}, {"order": 5, "question": "How should I store and transport your chocolates—especially in warm WA weather?", "answer": "For best quality, keep chocolates cool and dry (ideally 16–20°C), away from sunlight and strong aromas; if you’re travelling from Albany or Perth, use an insulated bag or esky and avoid leaving boxes in a hot car; enjoy by the best‑before date on the packaging, and ask our team for packing tips during hotter months."}]
