The problem of the present invention is to provide a dry composition containing a yeast extract, which shows improved adhesion to facility during production and improved caking during preservation, and has high intensity of taste or high quality of taste, and a production method thereof.The present invention provides a dry composition containing a yeast extract and a dry yeast, which composition has a value calculated by dividing a cell wall fraction (wt %) in the dry yeast by a total nitrogen content (wt %) in the dry yeast of not more than 16. In addition, the present invention provides a method of producing a dry composition, containing a step of drying a yeast extract together with a dry yeast, and having a value calculated by dividing a cell wall fraction (wt %) in the dry yeast by a total nitrogen content (wt %) in the dry yeast of not more than 16.
