The object of the present invention is to provide solid milk having suitable solubility and strength and a method for manufacturing such solid milk. The present invention is based on the knowledge that solid milk combining sufficient strength with sufficient solubility can be obtained basically by compacting and molding only powdered milk as an ingredient under a condition where porosity and free fat content thereof are controlled within fixed ranges and then humidifying and drying. The above-described object can be attained with solid milk with a porosity of 30% to 50% and a method for manufacturing solid milk, comprising a compacting process for compacting powdered milk and obtaining a solid compacted body of powdered milk, a humidifying process for wetting the compacted body of powdered milk obtained in the compacting process, and a drying process for drying the compacted body of powdered milk humidified in the humidification process.
