Zelten is an Italian fruitcake originating in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy prepared during Christmas time. It is made with rye flour, wheat flour, dried and candied fruits, orange zest, and various spices. The name probably derives from the German word selten, which translates to 'seldom', since it is usually prepared only once a year.
