What your looking for is Tapioca flour; made from the root of the manioc or cassava plant. Hope that this helps.

Polvilho
According to their website, the "Mercado Brazil" has both Polvilho Azedo and Polvilho Doce. The brand they carry is YOKI. The price if $2.90 for 500 g package, plus shipping. Check their site at: www.mercadobrazil.com and click on "flours" in the Categories list. Good luck. I have Amafil, which I brought back from Brazil. I also brought queijo mineiro, so I make authentic Pão de Queijo.
If you check out the web site of O Globo's Mais Você, last year there was a contest to choose the best recipies for Pão de Queijo. All those recipes are arquived on the "Culinario" pages of that site.
