Zelten
Zelten is a traditional Italian fruitcake 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]
