The invention relates to a method for producing solid milks and to the products obtained with the aid of this method. The method comprises a compression step, then a moistening step, then a drying step. The compression step is carried out with a compaction ratio comprised between 50% and 80%. In the moistening step, water is sprayed on the outside surface of the said compressed and solid milk unit with an amount comprised between 0.1 mg and 8 mg per cm2 of the area of the said outside surface, the duration of the moistening step being less than I s, to obtain a moistened solid unit having a moistened outside layer of at least two rows of milk particles. The drying step follows the moistening step less than 10s, the duration of the drying step being less than 30 s. The solid milk has a core/crust structure, the average thickness of the crust being at least the thickness of two rows of milk particles.
