Traditional Italian fruitcake From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zelten is an Italian fruitcake originating in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy prepared during Christmas time.[1] It is made with rye flour, wheat flour, dried and candied fruits, orange zest, and various spices. The name derives from the word selten, which in the nearby dialect means 'seldom', since it is usually prepared only once a year.[2]
