The subject of the invention is a novel chewing gum in tablet form which can be produced by direct compression of a gum formulation in powder form; the chewing gum thus obtained is characterized by a pleasant chewability which remains unchanged throughout the chewing period without hardening like most conventional chewing gums. The chewing gum in powder form is produced by a method which comprises the following steps: a) mixing of a soft basic gum, i.e. gum base, with at least one sweetener and, optionally, at least one other typical chewing-gum ingredient, at a temperature of between about 35 and 75° C., b) cooling of the mixture thus obtained to a temperature of between about 0 and -40° C. and preferably between -10 and -40° C., c) grinding and subsequent screening of the mixture thus obtained to a particle size of less than about 10 mesh, d) optional mixing of the powder thus obtained with at least one anti-agglutination agent, e) optional compression of the mixture thus obtained.
