Zelten is a traditional Italian fruitcake from Trentino Alto-Adige prepared during Christmas.[1] It is prepared using rye flour, wheat flour, dried and candied fruits, orange zest, and various spices. The name derives from the word "selten", a word in the nearby dialect meaning "seldom", since it is usually only prepared once a year.[2]
