Polvilho doce is the sweet cassava starch Brazilian kitchens use for soft, chewy pão de queijo, biscoitos de polvilho and tapioca-style recipes. Amafil's Premium line is the one my Brazilian customers reach for when they bake at home.
"Doce" means it's the mild, unfermented starch (not sweetened). It gives pão de queijo a smooth, stretchy inside. Many bakers mix it with polvilho azedo for a crisper crust and a lighter puff.
